(In)compatibility of gtkmm with cairomm, pangomm and atkmm

Hello Folks,

I am currently working on updating gnome-related packages, in Guix.

I updated libsigc++, glibmm, cairomm, pangomm, atkmm and gtkmm, to their latest stable releases. Now; libsigc++, glibmm, cairomm, pangomm and atkmm play well with other other’s lastest versions; except gtkmm being outlier.

[1] Why is gtkmm-3.24.4 is incompatible with cairomm-1.16.0, pangomm-2.48.0 and atkmm-2.36.0, as all of these are latest stable releases?
[2] Will there be new release of gtkmm in 3.24 series, that will be compatible with cairomm-1.16.0, pangomm-2.48.0 and atkmm-2.36.0?

Please let me know.

Regards,
RG.

Why do you think they are incompatible? This post doesn’t describe any actually experienced problem so far which led to your assumption.

OOPS!

gtkmm’s build script refer to older ABI versions of cairomm, pangomm and atkmm. So the build of gtkmm-3.24.4 fails with cairomm-1.16.0, pangomm-2.48.0 and atkmm-2.36.0. The error is something like “pkg-config: dependency foomm-x.y is not found”.
