[SOLVED] GTK3 and VTE3 or VTE3-NG that is the question.

this little project is for Slackware to get this app to run on the current version they have.

the app is called tinyterm I liked it then switched to currect and it no work anymore

so now I am trying to, wanting to get it to work on current, someone said Current is gtk3. So I got it to compile then I didn't have it anymore when I added vte3 and its include to the header to the c file.
it went from

Code:

userx@slackwhere:~/Downloads/tinyterm-0.5.8
$ ./a.out
 
(a.out:28415): Gtk-ERROR **: GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x 
and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported
Trace/breakpoint trap

then adding

Code:

#include <vte-2.91/vte/vte.h>

then running

Code:

gcc -Wall `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0` `pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0 vte-2.91` tinyterm.c (in directory: /home/userx/Downloads/tinyterm-0.5.8)

I'm getting vtedepreacted functions ( of course ), while not too big a deal, just fix it, but where are the docs on it?

and as I am seeing this vte3 and vte3-ng on the net while trying to find docs for vte3 to get the proper function calls again.

As I see they do not play together at all, What is the major difference and which is best to use for what reasons?

One of my own apps broke on -current because the app required the vte-0.28.2 library based on GTK2, which was replaced with the vte-0.44.3 library based on GTK3. The solution was to install vte-0.28.2. The two libraries seem to co-exist properly.

Ignore vte3-ng entirely. It's patched specifically for one application in particular, which is Termite.

My own Termite SlackBuild builds vte3-ng right into the Termite package (/usr/lib64/termite or /usr/lib/termite).

FYI, I installed vte2 (to which I referred in your other topic about geany) and tinyterm works fine here.

ON current? Now I got a go refresh my memory ... thanks

(but this tinyterm thing was before i installed that greany thing)
again, Now I got a go refresh my memory ... thanks

back, ok now its working, (sboinstall) but I redo the config for size and color, so let me now go play with that again anyways.

(now wonders if it even work bothering finishing updating it then)

grr it wasn't working on something -- well I'm not going to beat my brains out trying to remember.

Ponce provides vte2 (old version gtk2) here.

thanks, I think I might keep messing with it and get it up to gtk3 just for sh and giggles. maybe see what else I might be able to do with it.
