[Gtkradiant] future gtkglext trouble: gdk_gl_font_use_pango_font(_for_display) API removed

[Liam Busey]

Hi everyone, I just wanted to give you all a heads up.


This may be old news to you but it looks like future versions of
gtkglext will not be usable with zeroradiant.


I was recently playing with my LFS system. I wanted to do some mapping
so I was going about getting my dependencies in order in preparation
for building zeroradiant. The release tarball for gtkglext didn't build
for me so I decided to use the git version and it compiled fine.

I then tried to build zeroradiant but got this error:

Hmmm ...

I googled "gdk_gl_font_use_pango_font" and found this thread:

[GtkGLExt] gdk_gl_font_use_pango_font: life support or euthanasia?
http://www.mail-archive.com/gtkglext-list@gnome.org/msg00649.html

Unfortunately it was euthanized on 2010-04-26:
[GB#604333] Remove the gdk_gl_font_use_pango_font(_for_display) API
functions.
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtkglext/commit/?id=df7a7b35b80b395d7ba411c7f727970a46fb0588

I built a new gtkglext from just before the removal of the
gdk_gl_font_use_pango_font(_for_display) API functions. Zeroradiant
built successfully with this version of gtkglext (SHA1
1a6472adeeef9ce754fa21647968e04e3929e9d5).

I'm not much of a coder so I'm not sure if this a big deal or not but I
thought you all might like to know about it. If anything needs to be
done I'm willing to help.
