I've tried to build sawfish-1.8.92 on Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS
(Lucid Lynx) following the instructions available here:
http://sawfish.wikia.com/wiki/Compilation_from_source
Unfortunately on this OS version the "libgtk2.0-dev" is
version 2.20.1 but sawfish-1.8.92 requires rep-gtk >= 0.90.7
and the NEWS file contained in rep-gtk in turn says :
...
0.90.7:
...
* minimum GTK+ bumped to 2.24
...
Why is this so?
Is there any way to avoid building also a new GTK for this
platform?
And if not which risks are there if all other prebuild
GTK applications are still using the older Gtk?
Do I really have to move to newer (and possible less stable
platform) just to get my new Sawfish?
Regards, Peter Funk
