[LAD] jack-rack doesn't build against Debian 'etch's GTK+ libraries

[Steven Chamberlain]

Hi,

While trying to compile jack-rack on a fresh Debian 'etch' installation, 
I ran into this problem:

   jack_rack-ui.o: In function `ui_init_gui':
   /usr/local/src/jack-rack-1.4.7/src/ui.c:249: undefined reference to 
`gtk_tool_item_set_tooltip_text'

I eventually realised that this function isn't implemented in the 
libgtk2.0-dev package in this Debian release (GTK+ v2.8.20).  The 
offending changes in CVS are here:

http://jack-rack.cvs.sourceforge.net/jack-rack/jack-rack/src/ui.c?r1=1.27&r2=1.28

The revision log shows that this change was introduced 1.4.7, and 1.4.6 
builds fine, as expected.

jack-rack's 'configure' script only checks for GTK+ >= 2.0.0.  According 
to the documentation, the missing function didn't exist until 2.12:

http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkToolItem.html#gtk-tool-item-set-tooltip-text

Debian packages jack-rack anyway, and anyone compiling latest jack-rack 
from source shouldn't mind installing newer GTK libs.  But I thought I'd 
mention it in case anyone else runs into this problem.

I imagine 'configure.ac' ought to be updated to reflect the dependency 
on GTK+ >= 2.12.0 instead of 2.0.0 as previously.

Regards,
