[Xlog-discussion] workaround for people who don't have GTK+ version 2.12

[Joop Stakenborg]

This workaround uses garnome, which downloads and installs the latest
GTK+ version in your home-directory. Xlog is then linked to this
version.

Get garnome from 
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/garnome/2.20/garnome-2.20.1.tar.gz

Unpack it somewhere and type: 'cd garnome-2.20.1/platform/gtk+'. Next,
type 'make install'. You don't have to be root, in fact it is better not
to be...

Garnome will now fetch the necessary files from the web, compile and
install them under $HOME/garnome. Depending on the speed of your machine
this may take quite a while.

Save the following lines in a text file and set the executable bit
(chmod +x filename).
----------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

GARNOME=$HOME/garnome

PATH=$GARNOME/bin:$PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$GARNOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$GARNOME/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig
XDG_DATA_DIRS=$GARNOME/share
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=$GARNOME/etc/xdg

export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH XDG_DATA_DIRS
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
---------------------------------------------------

>From a terminal, run this script (./filename).
Now unpack the xlog sources and do your normal thing (./configure, make,
make install (as root)). At the configure stage, the new GTK+ version
will be found and xlog will be linked to the new library. Keep your
$(HOME)/garnome directory in place until your distribution updates to
the newest GTK+. You then need to recompile xlog.

Please send comments to the mailing list.
