Funny, I was going to suggest that one of the buildbots build with both GTK2 and GTK1 1 for the same reason. I agree that only one need do it, though. (I thought one of--or the only--reasons that we still supported GTK1 on Windows was so the Windows buildbot would test GKT1 builds for us, but I don't think that's working as there have been a fair number of times that I went to build on GTK1/glib1 only to find it broken yet again.) _______________________________________________ Wireshark-users mailing list Wireshark-users@wireshark.org http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-users
