[gentoo-user] GTK+ & HTML5 broadway

[Michal Sroka]

Hello,
I would like to run my gtk applications over web-browser using Alexander Larsson's gtk+ broadway option http://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2010/11/23/gtk3-vs-html5/ <http://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2010/11/23/gtk3-vs-html5/>
1 Have you got any experience with this on gentoo?
2 How can I specify, if to run my application (e.g. gnome-calculator) over gtk+ 3 or my stable gtk+ version?
3 I can't see any "enable-broadway" option in gtk+ portage install options. Do I have to compile gtk+ 3 from source?
Thank you for any help.
Regards,
Michal

Currently it doesn't work, at least not with libcanberra.  There is a
but in canberra that causes the app to segfault when using the broadway
backend.

If I understand you correctly, it doesn't work that way.  You can't,
just magically turn a gtk2 app into a gtk3 app. The APIs are different
so the app has to be writen for the gtk3 API.

You can use EXTRA_ECONF but, again, it doesn't currently work anyway.
