Dummy question: is this portable to windows?
No, unless you are using Cygwin or something similar.
(http://cygwinports.dotsrc.org/)
scintilla is very old in comparassion with scintilla, and uses a old
version of scintilla.
Yes I too agree that building on Scintilla rather than GtkScintilla is
a wiser thing to do. Also, Tom's version was built with Windows in
mind and it works out of the box there IMO.
What are the differences? New widgets? I think if we can stay with 2.6
is better as we do not force the people update gtk only to use php-gtk.
Apart from new widgets, and general bug fixes, Gtk 2.10 also offers
tray icon support, which is quite a significant feature. The reason
I'm pushing for updrading our Gtk version is because I feel this is
the right time to do it. Upgrading this after we make an official
release is something that's not going to happen.
Alternatively, we can offer two versions of PHP-GTK 2: one that builds
against 2.6 and another one that builds against 2.8/2.10.
And too GtkSourceView on windows, without the printing suport. We must
remove it from linux too I think if it does not work but the class is
still there. The people will see the class and will try to use it, and
will ask why it does not work.
GtkSourceView works without any flaws on Linux. I even got syntax
highlighting and other major features to work. Have you faced any
trouble in getting it to work? As far as Windows is concerned, I
remember there was some work in that direction. Steph's kind of busy
right now, and she's the only one with a Windows machine to get things
mocing in that area :)
However, the priority is still base API completion. I'm sure we will
all pay more attention to the extensions once we have 100% API
completion for Gtk+.
