[Mono-dev] gtk-sharp: Optional assemblies

[Rafael Teixeira]

Hi Steven,

Configure is finding what parts of gtk# CAN be built. When doing
'make' after that, the ones it said 'yes' will be built into managed
libraries that will DEPEND on the native libraries, so if you don't
have them (the native ones) properly installed you WON'T be able to
use the corresponding managed libraries anyway, so unless you intend
to use applications that need them (like MonoDevelop) no prob leaving
then out.

Rephrasing it: it all depends on the applications you are planning to
use or develop, with gtk#. They dictate what optional parts are
needed.

>From the looks of it you seem not to support for some commonly
used/usable pieces, like gtkhtml-sharp (needs an specific version of
it, what complicates things a bit) that is used by the monodoc
documentation browser (a version using mozilla's gecko is in the
works) and therefore by the monodevelop IDE. Also gnome-sharp is
commonly used...

Monodevelop, from the top of my mind, also needs vte-sharp to be able
to have an embedded console window.

Hope it helps clarify things,
