[Glade-users] Segmentation Fault

[tristan.van.berkom at gmail.com (Tristan Van Berkom)]

You can install Glade 3.8 (for usage with GTK+2) on ubuntu 10.04, you'll
need to download tarballs (and perhaps install a relocated version
of GTK+ 2.24)

Glade 3.6.x is discontinued for a long time now and is quite old.

However using a recent version of Glade, does not mean that
your target application will require recent versions of GTK+.

Glade even has a feature (in the project properties) allowing you
to chose what version of GTK+ your project is targetting, this
allows Glade to warn you (at save time) if for instance, you
specify widget types or properties or signals added in GTK+
2.24, but are targetting GTK+ 2.20.

Admittedly, it might be a little bit tricky (but not too much) to
install GTK+ 2.24 into a prefix like /opt/devel, it will require
that you use a little environment script setting up your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PKG_CONFIG_PATH, ACLOCAL_FLAGS etc
to use when building / running programs from that prefix
(or you could try using jhbuild which does this part for you,
but compiles from 'git' which is a bit more fragile than release
tarballs).

But, if you are stuck developing on an old system, this is
a much better alternative than using an out-dated version
of Glade (which may have bugs and crashes).

Cheers,
         -Tristan
