In "Requirements For Compiling", on the Ethereal webpage is said that
Ethereal is only garantueed to compile and link with glib 1.2,
but on the Win32 development download pages, glib 2.2.1 is proposed for
download.
So what is the official guideline on that?
The official guideline right now is "the requirements for compiling
aren't up-to-date and haven't been for a while". :-)
There's been GTK 2.x support for a while, so GLib 2.x support's been
available for a while as well.
On UNIX-flavored systems, GLib 1.2[.x]/GTK+ 1.2[.x] should work, as
should GLib 2.x/GTK+ 2.x.
On Windows, the old GLib 1.2 (or was it 1.3?)/GTK+ 1.3 combination that
we used to use should still work, as should the GLib 2.x/GTK+ 1.3[.x]
combination from the GTK+-for-Windows site (that's what we're currently
shipping with) and, probably, the GLib 2.x/GTK+ 2.x combination from
there as well.
Or is there no Glib 1.2 for Win32? (don't fint it on the web)
I don't think Tor Lillqvist (the person who did the Win32 ports of
GLib, GTK+, and the GIMP) is keeping it around any more. I don't know
if anybody's kept that old version around.
