Features/GTK3/Development

This page includes repo details and how to get sugar-jhbuild set up with the GTK3 work.

Repos

• http://git.sugarlabs.org/~erikos/sugar-toolkit/sugar-toolkit-gtk3 - this is the GTK3 port of sugar-toolkit
• http://git.sugarlabs.org/~erikos/sugar-toolkit/sugar-toolkit-gtk3 branch sucrose-0.94 - the GTK2 version of sugar-toolkit needs a handful of structure changes prompted by our GTK3 work. They are being committed here.
• http://git.sugarlabs.org/~erikos/sugar/sugar-gtk3 - we are not (yet) porting the sugar shell to GTK3, but a handful of structural changes are needed.
• Mainline sugar-artwork repo, branch 'gtk3'
• Browse port to GTK3: http://git.sugarlabs.org/~dsd/browse/browse-gtk3

jhbuild setup

Start with a working "normal" sugar-jhbuild installation.

Compile/install a fixed pygobject with this chain-up fix. F16 build available from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3473257

Apply this patch to sugar-jhbuild: http://dev.laptop.org/~dsd/20111029/sugar-jhbuild-sugar-toolkit-gtk3.patch

Select gtk3 brach of sugar-artwork for the new theme:

cd source/sugar-artwork
git pull
git checkout gtk3
make install
cd ../..

The sugar-toolkit gtk2 version needs some modifications for some restructuring that gtk3 work has prompted. Check out our branch where this happens;

cd source/sugar-toolkit
git remote add -f gtk2-mods-for-gtk3 git://git.sugarlabs.org/~erikos/sugar-toolkit/sugar-toolkit-gtk3.git
git checkout -b gtk2-mods-for-gtk3 gtk2-mods-for-gtk3/sucrose-0.94
make install
cd ../..

And similarly for sugar:

cd source/sugar
git remote add -f erikos-gtk3 git://git.sugarlabs.org/~erikos/sugar/sugar-gtk3.git
git checkout -b gtk3 erikos-gtk3/master
make install
cd ../..

Pending upstream work

All of these have been worked around (or will be worked around) for now, at the sugar level.

• gobject introspection bindings for librsvg: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663049
• enable GDK introspection access to X11 window properties (Raul)
• extend gio mime type API so that we can drop our xdgmime copy (e.g. need to be able to get default file extension for a given mime type)
• chaining up in vfuncs: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662994
• implementing GtkContainer::forall: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644926, also needs https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663052
