Possible to build Gambas3 against GTK? #231

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Not a problem with Gambas3 but a request. There is a known issue with Nvidia 
cards and QT4 (for me it manifests itself with problems editing text and screen 
redraw). I spotted that it is possible to build Gambas apps as either QT4 or 
GTK so I was wondering if it is possible to build the Gambas executable itself 
against GTK. As I said its not a Gambas problem but I would like to try it as 
it may well fix what is a fairly annoying effect for me.

Thanks for any help you can give.

I have a Nvidia card too, I use KDE & Qt, and I have no problem. Can you give 
some details?

The problem was exhibiting itself on Ubuntu (10.04 onwards) with the 
proprietary Nvidia driver installed on a HP Laptop (driving an external 
monitor). For example cutting and pasting would result in the screen not being 
redrawn properly until scrolling up then down when the text would be corrected. 
However I've moved away from Ubuntu to Mint MDE and it would appear that the 
problem has gone away (admittedly I've only tried it for about 20 minutes but 
before it was very easy to reproduce). So for now I suggest that you close the 
issue down and if it reoccurs then I'll do more investigation and raise it 
again with a lot more info.

Incidentally Mint is based on Debian and I initially tried using the Debian 
build instructions to rebuild 3.1.0 and encountered problems - I'll raise a new 
issue to cover it.

If by Gambas3 you mean its IDE, it is not possible to use it with GTK+, because 
the source code editor has not been ported to GTK+ yet (this is a big job).
