That is great news, thanks!

I gues my confusion about anjuta being a gtk1/gnome1 app is because when 
i first learned of it, it was, and the big anouncement i heard after 
that was about anjuta2.

Looking at the website i see that only anjuta 1.0.x (gtk1/gnome1 
version?) is mentioned and offered for download while i see the CVS 
version is 100% gnome2?

If thats the case, no wonder i was a bit confused ;-) Might be nice for 
curious and hopefull people like me to mention a gnome2 version is in 
the works?


While checking out this great new toy (current cvs-head) i ran into a 
few small beauty errors:


configure.in: (notice the XML vs XML2)
LIBXML_REQUIRED=2.4.23
AC_SUBST(LIBXML2_REQUIRED)

The spec(.in) file: it uses a Requires: and BuildRequires: that my rpm 
refuses to understand, the \ line splitting isn't allowed (thats on 
redhat phoebe but i imagine rh8 has that to). I also noticed it misses 
pcre as dep in the (build/)requires lists.

While compiling message-manager-private.cc:679 gave an error, which is 
this sniplet:

#ifdef OLD_VTE
    tw->m_child_pid = vte_terminal_fork_command (term, shell, NULL, env);
#else
    tw->m_child_pid = vte_terminal_for_command (term, shell , NULL, 
env, dir, 0, 0, 0);
#endif

If i switch that around and call it with the ..,dir,0,0,0) it compiles 
perfectly again. I'm running vte 0.10.26 so it would seem that got 
turned around somewhere in the process.

Last, i tried to build an actual rpm, and there i found out that the 
Makefile's don't respect the prefix=/somewhereelse given to it.. the 
$prefix/share does end up where it should be, but $prefix/bin and 
$prefix/lib end up in the actual prefix (/usr/bin,/usr/lib)

At that point i gave up on the rpm, and did a plain make/make install. 
Worked perfectly..

Weirdly enough, the first thing i tried was to see if it had any working 
CVS action. Looking at the dialog & code, i noticed it tried to use 
:server: and not :pserver: So i hacked in the extra server type, and 
noticed the number of posible servers (4) is hardcoded in all 4 files 
that use it (candidate for a const?). So adding the enum & types i 
happely continued.. while attempting to login i got this error:

(anjuta:15853): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to add a widget with type 
GtkHBox to a GtkDialog, but as a GtkBin subclass a GtkDialog can only 
contain one widget at a time; it already contains a widget of type GtkVBox

And a dialog box without a text entry field to match ;-)


Last nit-pick, when i start it up for the first time i am greeted by a 
welcome to anjuta with has 2 _very_ long lines in it, but the text field 
does not wrap ... looks a bit weird ;)



Well thats it for now.. ofcource it crashes and everything, but it seems 
somewhat functional and those are being worked on i'm sure

Hope my comments are somewhat usefull. Keep up the great work, can't 
wait to see anjuta for gnome2 !
