Re: Deprecating Gtk::Main

[Andy Gilman <amgilman myfairpoint net>]

I am not sure how to get the header file.  When I #include 
<gtkmm/application.h>, I receive a fatal error, so it is clearly not 
part of my existing library.  Is there a library update?  Can I download 
the file separately?

Thanks.
