Tilda on FreeBSD 10.1 #130

Closed mzs114 closed 9 years ago

mzs114 commented 9 years ago

Hello we have an open PR for upgrading tilda on FreeBSD. FreeBSD users are still using 0.9.6 version since 2008. The maintainer is trying to build version 1.2, but is unable to. So would like to know the probable release date for version 1.3 and whether we can expect it to build on FreeBSD or what modifications are necessary.

Thanks!

Hi mzs,

could you explain in more detail what is the problem with building
version 1.2 on BSD? You need to compile and build against libvte
2.90 (version 0.34 or below)? When I check the FreeBSD ports
section, then I see there exists vte3-290-0.34.7_1:

 http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/x11-toolkits/vte290/

This should work in my opinion. Porting tilda to VTE 2.91 is not so
simple, for several reasons. I do have plans to do this eventually
but I will try to support both 2.90 and 2.91 APIs and currently I
have no time to make those changes.

Anyway, if try to build with the above mentioned library and it
still does not work, then please let me know and I will see what I
can do to fix any issues.

Regards
Sebastian

@rosorio Nice!

@rosorio Thank you for updating tilda, I am now running version 1.2.2.

@lanoxx Thank you for developing tilda, I depend on this for my day to day activities.

I guess we can close this issue.
