Description Will B 2015-11-12 07:33:03 UTC
Greetings,

Please enable '--with-gtk=2.0' and '--with-python' on this package. I cannot use this package as-is with py27-gtk because of these missing options.  

If you cannot enable these by default, can you please fix the ports files so these options can be selected through `make config` when building from the ports tree?  I cannot use this package at all without being able to enable these options, and must build from external sources and the resulting package crashes constantly.

Thank you! :-)

Thanks for your report Will.

@Maintainer, alternatively, python/gtk2 sub ports might be possible if they cant or shouldn't be bundled within the one port/package.
Comment 2 Walter Schwarzenfeld 2018-01-12 13:39:49 UTC
Is this still relevant? (Makefile shows USES=gtk30, but not python). If not, please close this PR.

(In reply to w.schwarzenfeld from comment #2)
Makefile has --without-python.

I think what the reporter want is a new port or a flavor of gtk-vnc that is built with GTK+ 2. The net/gtk-vnc port currently only supports GTK+ 3. GTK+ 3 version uses GObject introspection for its python binding, so there is no need to support python directly in gtk-vnc itself and I think it is why it uses --without-python.
Comment 4 Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-01-12 18:26:12 UTC
The port option GTK2 should be added, IMO.
Comment 5 Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-01-12 18:27:46 UTC
Possibly, python binding should be a separate package.

(In reply to Yuri Victorovich from comment #5)

As of gtk-vnc 0.7.2, python binding is deprecated and will be removed in the next release [1], I think it doesn't make much sense to add support for it now.

I've submitted a PR [2] that updates the port to 0.7.2 and allows to switch between GTK2 and GTK3.
