The problem is - gtk has no list of "extern" - definitions in one(!) file in the header - directory... and the link-process of libgtk needs many compiler-commandline-switches (...or use of gtkconfig). In libtk8.0 is this no problem. One (!) extern-list and simple link-process. Bud gtk has more from the good look and feel of free dynamic software. -- http://ekim.home.pages.de Mike Neuhaus ********PRO Heimerziehung heißt PRO Zukunft********** Die Heimerziehung bedarf nicht ihrer eigenen Abschaffung,sondern einer durch Innovation geprägten Reform
