Howdy Y'all,
I'm running Slackware 11.0 with Enlightenment DR17 (on that front I think KDE and Gnome have competition). I did "slocate gtk" and found I have numerous gtk libraries on this installation, even though I chose not to install Gnome or KDE.
I use XEmacs (all the time) and I noticed in the INSTALL file that I can pass options to configure to tell it which X toolkit I want for the scrollbars, dialogs and widgets. Currently I have the default widgets, etc., because I passed no options to ./configure when I installed.
This morning I redid ./configure after running
make clean
make distclean
in the original source tree (/usr/src).
I ran
./configure --with-scrollbars=gtk --with-dialogs=gtk --with-widgets=gtk
and configure ran smoothly. When I ran
make
I got errors saying pointers to athena were invalid.
This raises several questions:
Is this feature active? In other words, I'd think the ./configure options would replace pointers to athena with pointers to gtk.
Do I have everything I need to compile with gtk widgets? (how do I find out what I do have?)
Is it really going to look different? (the athena/lucid widgets look archaic) I saw a screenshot of GNU Emacs in "Learning GNU Emacs" from O'Reilly that looked really modern, like other GTK applications.
How do I uninstall properly so that I can replace the current installation, in the event that I recompile with different options?
(If you're wondering, no I don't use XEmacs for C programming
I don't use anything for C programming)
Thanks,
Joel
