GtkAda 1.2.5 release
--------------------

GtkAda is an Ada95 graphical toolkit based on Gtk+ version >= 1.2.2. It
allows you to develop graphical applications in Ada95 using Gtk+.

Currently, all widgets  of the Gtk+ 1.2 series have  been bound. The
binding  for the Gdk part is not complete yet, but is already pretty
much in place.

To test our toolkit, the testgtk program has been almost completely
re-implemented and is also distributed.

New features in 1.2.5 include:

- Extensive documentation update. GtkAda now comes with both a User's
Guide
  and a Reference Manual.
- New scheme for callbacks. This is much more complete than the old
scheme,
  and will permit for instance the creation of callbacks that return a
  value (such as for the signal "delete_event"). It is also much more
  systematic than the old one (less packages need to be instantiated).
- Gate has been updated to Glade 0.5.5, plus various bug fixes
- Complete Gtk+ support for Gate/Dgate
- A new example shows how to do some flicker-free animation with GtkAda
- Tested on HP-UX 11.00
- Tested on SCO UnixWare 7.1

The ALT RPMs for RedHat/SuSE GNU/Linux are available at the usual
places.

For glibc-2.1 systems:
http://www.gnuada.org/rpms312p.html#GTKADA

For glibc-2.0 systems:
http://www.gnuada.org/rpms312p_0.html#GTKADA

You should use the glibc-2.0 not the glibc-2.1 if you have a RedHat
6.0 system.

No that is hard. The link to ALT is down now so I cannot get to check
the rpm myself. You could upgrade to RedHat 6.1, but I won't recommend
it as I had some troubles with RH 6.1.

I'll check ALT later and test the rpms

If it makes you feel any better -- or worse -- I also run RH 6.0 with glibc
2.1.1, and I was able to build and run the 'testgtk' and 'scribble' from the
new RPMs without any problems at all.

The problem has been resolved I a private conversation between Jan and me. It clearly was a configuration problem on Jans system, so the solution is of no general interest.
