The question is whether configure should fatal if --with-gtk and --with-xft are specified together, or just issue a warning and force with_xft=no. Yeah, that occurred to me. Except that the people working on the g* libraries are really careless about backward compatibility (standard GNU attitude). For example, I tried to check on the next version of glib in MacPorts (there's a glib-devel port), and they apparently use CLOEXEC without checking for support (so it doesn't work on my Mac, whose OS is old enough that there's no support for CLOEXEC at all). I assume that allows you to use the old GDK keysyms in GTK 3 code? No, please don't do that. GTK 3 is where we want to go; if we're going to cruftify code, it should be the GTK 2 code. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
