Hi, Much as we've experienced with Tcl/Tk, we need to be able to have multiple versions of GTK installed on a system. Currently the gtk and gtk11 ports can be installed concurrently, except for one detail. GTK applications use a script called gtk-config at build time to determine the location of headers and libraries. Currently, both the gtk and gtk11 port install this script, meaning that whichever was installed last will be the one that is picked up by applications. I suggest that the current gtk port be renamed gtk10, and that it install gtk10-config. Similarly, the gtk11 port should install gtk11-config. Perhaps the last port installed could also make a gtk-config symlink. All ports that depend on GTK should then be updated to use the correct script (gtk10-config or gtk11-config). For most ports, this will just require frobbing the configure.in or aclocal.m4 file (e.g. s/gtk-config/gtk10-config/). If folks feel comfortable with this suggestion, I'll go through the ports and fix them. If you don't like the idea, or have other comments, I'd appreciate hearing them.
