[Glade-users] Glade / Gtk+ version mismatch and fatal errors

[Daniel Kasak]

Hi Tristan. Thanks for the reply.

I'm deploying stuff on Windows ( and I'm struggling to build Gtk+ on
Windows - I managed it at one point, but I had to pull in patches from all
over the place, and they no longer apply cleanly ). After more testing, I'm
seeing this kind of issue all over the place now :( I guess the only
solution is to roll back to an earlier version of Glade that matches the
target Gtk+ version I'm deploying to.
