Or kick both of them to the curb, as we're doing in the trunk. :-)

Of course, we're supporting both Qt 4 and Qt 5 in the Qt version; I'm not sure 
how much of a pain that will turn out to be, but I think the Qt folks aren't 
quite as eager to Change Stuff Incompatibly as are the GTK+ people.

[Wireshark-dev] Gtk2 xor Gtk3

2015-07-29 Thread Bill Meier

Seen on gtk-l...@gnome.org

From eba...@gmail.com



Having said that, I must also warn you: do not try to support GTK+ 2
and GTK+ 3 in the same code base. It was doable back when GTK+ 3 was
new, four years ago, but the code base, requirement, assumptions, and
API have been diverging to the point of being a massive waste of time
— for you, for packagers, for users, and for people answering your
questions.

Either stick with GTK+ 2.24, or port to GTK+ 3.

Ciao,
 Emmanuele.
