Using GTK3 Vision library on Ubuntu; how to specify?

[Thomas Beale]

I see there is a GTK3.4 implementation of Vision2. Is there any documentation about what it fixes compared to GTK2?

And how do I enabled it? I assume something like the following:

                <library name="ise_vision2" location="$ISE_LIBRARY\library\vision2\vision2.ecf">
                        <target="vision2_gtk34"/>
                </library>

But I don't know what that middle bit should really be, or if it's something else entirely. (I just spent an hour searching for ECF syntax, documentation on GTK3 in Eiffel and how to switch Vision implementations... not much there, unfortunately).

thanks

Typo... not

                        <target="vision2_gtk34"/>

but presumably something like

                        <xxxx target="vision2_gtk34"/>

but I don't know what the xxx is.

If you look at the vision2.ecf file, you will see the variable "vision_implementation"

so you should put in your application target the line

<variable name="vision_implementation" value="gtk34"/>

However, I fear the gtk3 implementation has never been completed.

I did finally figure it out ... but if the implementation isn't finished, probably it should not be an option there in the libraries? (It doesn't compile at any rate).
