Bug Description

Gtk+ has had built-in support for .ui files through GtkBuilder for a while now. The Glade UI builder supports GtkBuilder as well. Switching to GtkBuilder would make Linuxdcpp only require Gtk+ as an external dependency.

The application currently requires GTK+ 2.10. GtkBuilder is implemented in GTK+ 2.12 and later.

We cannot switch to GtkBuilder since we cannot require GTK+ 2.12 as a dependency at this time. It will probably be a few years before GTK+ 2.12 is widespread enough and we could move up the minimum GTK+ version.

linuxdcpp 1.1.0 now depends on GTK+ >= 2.12, so that prerequisite is fulfilled. I'm reopening the bug.

Re-open ok by me.

Steven: Any thoughts? Should we switch to GtkBuilder?

Yeah, moving to GtkBuilder has been on my todo list. It's been a few years since my last post and as indicated we would be willing to support it now that it's mainstream. In fact, I also plan to work on making linuxdcpp more GTK+ 3/Gnome 3 compliant (but not dependent on) by making sure we're not using any other deprecated APIs.

Not sure this will get into 1.2.0 since our plan is to upgrade the DC++ core to the latest and do a quick release.
