[Erlgtk-users] GNOME 2 ?

[Vance S. <va...@mo...>]

Folks,

I'm trying to give ErlGTK a whirl for the first time.
My environment is FreeBSD 4.8-RC with XFree86-4 and
gnome2 installed.

The first thing I ran into was that I needed to make
the following change:

Index: configure.in
===================================================================
RCS file: /cvsroot/erlgtk/erlgtk/config/configure.in,v
retrieving revision 1.19
diff -r1.19 configure.in
75c75,77
<     if test "x$GNOME" != "x"; then
---
>     if test "x$GNOME" != "xyes"; then
>       GNOME=""
>     else
93c95,97
<     if test "x$GTK" != "x"; then
---
>     if test "x$GTK" != "xyes"; then
>       GTK=""
>     else


I'm suspicious that it's not yet really picking up the 2.2 version stuff.
I see gtk12 in the includes.

In any event forging forward results in:

$ gmake
(cd c_src; gmake)

So before I knock heads with this thing too much what are my chances of
this working?

OK, many gours later I can answer my own question.
It's gonna take a bunch of work.

Is anyone using this thing?  

I was going to use Glade2 to build a UI for a new project
and then link the resulting C code with erl_interface.  My
approach would have had me coding all the UI stuff in C
and just message passing my data to and from a (remote)
Erlang node.

The ErlGTK approach seemed attractive as I could move most
of my development into the Erlang realm with the associated
benefits.  I will need up to date libraries though.  I'm
going to see how far I get with continuing the porting to
Gnome 2.2.  If it gets too intense I'll eventually give up
and go with my first plan.

Here's hoping ...
