Re: [jazzplusplus-devel] Re: wx 2.5.1?

[Dave F. <dav...@co...>]

Well, in keeping in the spirit of calling for major upgrades to fix minor 
problems...

Why don't all you Swedes just speak English instead?

;)

Jokes aside, wxGTK has had experimental GTK2 support for awhile, even in the 
2.4 branch.  Are you using your own built wxGTK or RedHat's provided package?  
The Mandrake package is compiled with GTK2 support, and I've loaded Audacity 
up with other languages and slobbered over the beautiful fonts.  Makes me 
wish I knew Russian or something, you know?  Such pretty letters....  And 
then I couldn't quit the application because I don't know "Close" in Russian.  
;)  (You *might* be able to install Mandrake's RPM on your RedHat system.  
I've had it work successfully using RedHat packages on Mandrake, so if you 
don't mind accidentally trashing your RPM database you could give it a shot)

Anyway, you just:
./configure --enable-gtk2
I believe.  ./configure --help will show the option somewhere in there.  So if 
you're using your own built wxGTK, I'd try recompiling it with GTK2 support 
first and playing with localizing Jazz as it is.  That said, we will 
eventually need to support wxGTK2.6.  But consider that to get the best 
localization of Jazz we either have to tell users to compile wxGTK2.5 
(experimental at best), or to compile wxGTK2.4 rather than use their 
distro-provided package that's probably compiled against GTK1.2.
