Trying (and installing) gtk4mm (3.97) ...?

[Martin Brodbeck <martin brodbeck-online de>]

Hi, 

(I hope this is the right place to ask...)

I'm on Arch Linux and just wanted to get acquainted to (early) gtkmm4. Unfortunately, there are no pre-release packages (like 3.97.1) in AUR yet. I might be able to build them, but some of the dependencies mentionend by [1] seem not to be released yet (pangomm-2.44, cairomm-1.16, atkmm-2.30). Perhaps it would be necessary to build them from git master, but I think I read something about ABI incompatibility, which would make it even more complicated.

So, is it just too early to give gtkmm4 a try? If not, I would be glad to have something like a guide about how to get started. 

(btw, a gtkmm matrix room would be great. The closest thing I found is a #c++ irc channel on GIMPnet. Maybe I missed something?)

Thanks a lot

Martin
