[Libswt-discuss] New release of libswt-gtk2

[McKenzie K. <ma...@ho...>]

There is a new release available of libswt-gtk2. This release is version 
2.1.1-2. Note that the 2.1.1 is the Eclipse version, and the -2 is the 
libswt release number. So this is the second release based on Eclipse 2.1.1.

New in this version is a dependency on libgnome-2.0, creation of a jar file, 
and support for pkg-config. This should make it easier to build against 
libswt-gtk2.

After a successful installation pkg-config should be able to supply compile 
flags (--cflags) and link flags (--libs). As an example, the link flags 
might be "-L/usr/local/lib -lswt-gtk2." And the compile flags might be 
"-I/usr/local/lib/libswt-gtk2.jar."

So, if you have a single java file, Hello.java, that depends on the SWT, you 
can compile it as follows:

% gcj -c Hello.java -o Hello.o `pkg-config --cflags libswt-gtk2`
% gcj --main=Hello -o Hello Hello.o `pkg-config --libs libswt-gtk2`
