gtkmm4 (3.97.1)?

beedaddy · 2020-04-20 08:57:50

I'm interested in becoming acquainted with gtkmm4 (which is of course not released yet, but there's 3.97.1), builing some example apps etc. Since it seems not to be trivial to build a gtkmm4-package, I would like to ask if someone is already working on this. Perhaps I missed something, but I couldn't find anything on AUR yet.

The gtkmm3 PKGBUILD[1] doesn't look too complicated and gtk4 is in aur[2]
gtk4 maintainer and users might be willing to help.

I'd start with building gtk4 , then try to adapt the gtkmm3 PKGBUILD to build gtkmm4 .

Yes I already installed gtk4, but gtkmm4 relies on some other *mm-packages like cairomm-1.16, pangomm-2.44 and atkmm-2.30 which are not yet available in AUR. And I'm not sure whether they should be installed in parallel because they might break ABI compatibility. Maybe I get some help from the gtkmm-devs. I just asked because I was wondering whether there's already something in the pipeline...

If you look at those packages you'll find they don't depend on gtk and share one dependency : mm-common .

mm-common is also a dependency of gtkmm and comes from gtkmm.org .
Ask the gtkmm devs if mm-common 1.0.0 is usable for gtkmm build against gtk4 .
