RE: Problem Linking with GTK 1.2.9 and 1.2.10

Cheers I will convert it too the old style for now until I persuade the
system administrator to upgrade -:) I guess it is quite simple and easy
to upgrade from 1.2.10 to 2 ?

Thanks for your help

Edward

the gtk+ tutorial is updated for gtk+ 2.0

G_OBJECT and G_CALLBACK are macros in glib 2.0 and g_signal_connect is 
function in glib 2.0 ,so you should use gtk+ 2.0 instead
or use gtk_signal_connect instead
