Mon Aug 23 19:11:17 1999 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> * gtk/Makefile.am: invoke indent on gtkmarshal.*. rewrote source generation rules, use COPYING as oldest source tag for a piggyback rule to generate all sources from (don't touch it ;). major cleanups, strip spaces on build rules for GNU Make. * gtk/genmarshal.pl: don't operate on hardcoded filenames but take source and target files from commandline arguments. don't invoke indent. * gdk/Makefile.am: minor cleanups, strip spaces on build rules for GNU Make. * docs/Makefile.am: added generation.txt. * Makefile.am: require automake 1.4, build README from README.in and INSTALL from INSTALL.in in dist-hook. * README.in: * INSTALL.in: new files to autogenerate README and INSTALL from. * gtk/COPYING: * gdk/COPYING: new files containing the GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. * configure.in: figure wether we have GNU Make, version update to Gtk+ 1.2.4, interface age 2, binary age 4. * NEWS: updates. * docs/generation.txt: minor additions/corrections.
General Information =================== This is GTK+ version 1.2.4. GTK+, which stands for the Gimp ToolKit, is a library for creating graphical user interfaces for the X Window System. It is designed to be small, efficient, and flexible. GTK+ is written in C with a very object-oriented approach. The official ftp site is: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk The official web site is: http://www.gtk.org/ A mailing list is located at: gtk-list@redhat.com To subscribe: mail -s subscribe gtk-list-request@redhat.com < /dev/null (Send mail to gtk-list-request@redhat.com with the subject "subscribe") Installation ============ See the file 'INSTALL' How to report bugs ================== Bugs should be reported to the GNOME bug tracking system. (http://bugs.gnome.org). To report a problem about GTK+, send mail to submit@bugs.gnome.org. The subject of the mail should describe your problem. In the body of the mail, you should first include a "pseudo-header" that gives the package and version number. This should be separated by a blank line from the actual headers. Package: gtk+ Version: 1.2.4 [ Please substitute 1.2.4 with the version of GTK+ that you have installed ] Then describe the bug. Include: * Information about your system. For instance: - What operating system and version - What version of X - For Linux, what version of the C library And anything else you think is relevant. * How to reproduce the bug. If you can reproduce it with the testgtk program that is built in the gtk/ subdirectory, that will be most convenient. Otherwise, please include a short test program that exhibits the behavior. As a last resort, you can also provide a pointer to a larger piece of software that can be downloaded. (Bugs that can be reproduced within the GIMP are almost as good as bugs that can be reproduced in testgtk. If you are reporting a bug found with the GIMP, please include the version number of the GIMP you are using) * If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out when the crash occured. * Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but is not necessary. If you do send a stack trace, and the error is an X error, it will be more useful if the stacktrace is produced running the test program with the --sync command line option. An example of a bug report: ==== To: submit@bugs.gnome.org From: yourname@your.address.org Subject: handlebox test in testgtk is misnamed. Package: gtk+ Version: 1.2.4 When I run gtk/testgtk, the button "handle box" is misnamed. There are multiple handle boxes in the demo, so it should be "handle boxes", to be like "buttons" or "check buttons". === Patches ======= Patches can be uploaded to the incoming/ directory on ftp.gtk.org. Please follow the instructions there, and include your name and email address in the README file. If the patch fixes a bug, it is usually a good idea to include all the information described in "How to Report Bugs".
