Title: gtk2
| Old | New | Line | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | + | The package GTK2 is a header to the GTK 2.x libraries. The headers mostly try to be compatible to 2.6 with some 2.8 extensions. | |
| 2 | + | ||
| 3 | + | It is expected that the next lazarus version (0.9.28) will default to gtk2. Currently, gtk1 is still the default, though gtk2 is already in wide use. | |
| 4 | + | ||
| 5 | + | Note that while GTK(2) is mostly used on Unix, it is known to work on Windows too, though to our knowledge not tested regularly. | |
| 6 | + | ||
| 7 | + | Reportedly (bug 12359) the following libraries are required for windows: | |
| 8 | + | ||
| 9 | + | `libgdkglext-win32-1.0.0.dll`\ | |
| 10 | + | `libglade-2.0-0.dll` | |
| 11 | + | ||
| 12 | + | # fpu problem under windows | |
| 13 | + | ||
| 14 | + | A documented problem [bug 12359](http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=12359) states that the default FPU mask of FPC under windows can be a problem for the GTK libraries. The gtk_demo example is affected by this. | |
| 15 | + | ||
| 16 | + | See also | |
| 17 | + | ||
| 18 | + | - [fpc-devel msg](http://www.mail-archive.com/fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org/msg12237.html) | |
| 19 | + | ||
| 20 | + | This can be avoided by setting the FPU mask to \$133F as first line in your program. | |
| 21 | + | ||
| 22 | + | ` Set8087CW($133F); ` | |
| 23 | + | ||
| 24 | + | This might have an affect on Delphi compatibility of floating point operations though. | |
