Hi Noam,

Hi,

I really like Meld. I'm a good Python programmer. I had an idea for Meld
that I wanted to see if I can implement. I have ubuntu 14.04, which is the
version the Ubuntu official site currently says is "recommended for most
users". Ubuntu 14.04 has GTK 3.10, and Meld requires GTK 3.12. I spent
several hours trying to compile GTK 3.12 on my machine, without success.

Adding a newer GTK+ is hard even with more experience.
I suggest creating an schroot environment for Meld development using a newer
Ubuntu release.
For a quick howto please visit https://wiki.debian.org/Schroot .

Cheers,
Balint
