1. Irv's GTK library
--part1_fb.30953767.2b0ec929_boundary
Hi
Irv,
No stupid question today.
Just to say I've just manage to get my SuSE 6.2 (P133, 16Mb ram) machine at
home running your GTK library. Runs a bit dog like, but runs once its
interpreted everyrhing.
Had to do some library updates, you might want to put the requirements on
your web site. Snaffled all of the updates from the SuSE 7.2 DVD, networked
into my XP machine.
Here they are.
libgtk-1.2.so.0.5.3 (1.2.8)
(libgdk-1.2.so.0.5.3)
glib 1.2.8
glibc 2.2
imlib 1.9.5
I do have a stupid question for you actually. Can't remember the details,
because the files at work, so from memory - I created a table, 2 by 10, ried
to insert a frame(/box/panel), and it wouldn't position correctly until I had
set the row and cols to something like 30,640,0,100 - anything else just gave
a tiny little widget.
Oh, sorry, heres another one
pack(widget,{widgets to pack}, 0,0,5) - what do the last three digits do?
Thanks
Chris

That's pretty minimal hardware to be running x. I'm surprised it runs at all.
I developed the initial EuGTK on a 133 mhz box, but with 128 megs of memory,
it ran pretty fast.

Can't say what to do without seeing the source. Drop it into the e-mail, and
I'll take a look.

Mostly, support and encourage my laziness Typing 0 is easier than "FALSE".:)
The first two are boolean values called "expand" and "fill". The third is an
integer value for "spacing" - how many pixels between adjoining controls.
Only "spacing" means what you think it does.
The best I can do to explain what the first two do is to encourage you to
run the following program, and resize the window with the mouse.
Change "expand" ,"fill", or both to TRUE or 1 and see what happens.
include gtk/wrapper.e
widget win, panel, btn1, btn2
init(0,0)
win = window("Pack test")
panel = hbox()
addto(win,panel)
btn1 = button("OK")
btn2 = button("Click me for a treat")
pack(panel,{btn1,btn2},0,0,0)
show(win)
main()

3. Irv's GTK library
Hi
I downloaded Irv's GTK library - its really great.
A point - do you use Gnome Irv? I use KDE, and my installation of gtk
didn't seem to include imlib, so I downloaded and installed ver 1.9
i386, and that works fine now. There is one example I can't seem to get
working, I'm at home so I'm working from memory, I think its the drawing
one. I haven't looked at it too hard, and it doesn't worry me too much.
(imlib is about to be succeeded by something - and I can't remember that
name either! - apparently - is this likely to be a problem for future
linux distributions - maybe include imlib in your package to ref it
locally?)
Great work, I'll actually start doing useful things with it soon - once
I have the time 
Chris
