Re: wxGTK-2.4.0

Hi Wilbert

I too am having the same fun !

My development is done with wxGTK-2.3.3 and it is perfectly happy with a 
standard installation of GTK+ 1.2.10, but with the latest wxGTK you 
need this pkg-config. So you can try downloading and building 
pkg-config and seeing what happens, they claim that wxGTK-2.4.0 is 
compatible with that version. Pkg-config is at 
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/ once I have installed 
it, I found that it had identified my GTK+ 1.2.10 and had included it 
in its list of packages.

I would not recommend trying LinWSJT (now at 0.4.2 BTW) with wxGTK 2.4.0 
yet as there are some incompatibilities :-( Nothing too serious, just a 
few hours of sorting some arguments out. I have gone the whole way and 
installed GTK+ 2.2.0 and the rest of the libraries, something I 
wouldn't recommend unless you have a few hours of free time. Try and 
get hold of wxGTK 2.3.3 and use that to build LinWSJT. I will release a 
wxGTK 2.4.0 compatible LinWSJT soon.

I have to say that I am not too happy in the way that they have moved to 
pkg-config, I though the existing framework of gtk-config was perfectly 
adequate.

Such is life.
