They should be updated and work in GTK. Klaas, the errors you get seem
like mixed headers? For example wxSTC had GetCaretLineBack in 2.6, but
now has GetCaretLineBackground and it's #ifdefed for 2.7.1 (when the
change occurred) in stc.cpp.

You've got 2.6 headers in your 2.8... in 2.6 wxVideoMode is a struct
in 2.8 it's a class. Check your $(WXWIN) var.

See other message... It'd be nice to be able to build them all at
once. Maybe separate dirs in bin?

I think I'm leaning towards #2 now... #1 is probably easier and less
confusing, but there's the overwriting problem.

Thanks, I think things are really shaping up for a very nice 2.8 release.
