Yeah, the configure script had a few half-finished changes for GTK3, made by someone who copy-pasted GTK2 checks without considering all situations. I made patch 8.2.2442 which hopefully fixes this. Now when GTK2 is not installed and GTK3 is, then it should automatically pick up GTK3. The implementation is a bit hacky because I feel uncomfortable changing this shell script stuff. -- This is an airconditioned room, do not open Windows. /// Bram Moolenaar -- [email protected] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ an exciting new programming language -- http://www.Zimbu.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
