<br>
I actually didn't meet this issue as I partially built MATE against GTK2.<br>
I supposed I assumed that building something that looks like Gnome 2 would be easier on a platform that supports Gnome 2 already.<br>
This was my first mistake.... learning wisdom is a long path.<br>
<br>
These dependencies are related to GTK3, when I come back in September I'll try to set up a GTK3 build.<br>
Then, I'll see what breaks.<br>
<br>
Desktop wise, I was thinking would it be wiser to keep a close look to what the BSD guys are doing as they have the same issue than OI which is more and more dependencies on linux core features (systemd, udev, authentication/authorisation mechanism,... ).<br>
<br>

Welcome Ben !<br>
I also tried to build MATE but I encountered dependency issues immediately.<br>
atk 2.14 would be a first target [2] but requires also building a newer gobject-introspection and make sure that nothing breaks.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>

Having GTK3 spec files are a good news. I'll focus on that then so we got a GTK3 to build on.<br>
<br>
I'll leave MATE aside for the moment as we have a working desktop.<br>
GTK3 will open more option to desktops alternative or application.<br>
<br>
Best regards.<br>

Hi.<br>
I think that MATE would be a valuable thing, and it worth to try making<br>
it work,<br>
but you can underestimate the work wich is necessary to make it<br>
functional.<br>
<br>
What about GTK3, you can look at<br>
</span><span class=""><a href="https://java.net/projects/solaris-desktop/sources/spec-files/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://java.net/projects/solaris-desktop/sources/spec-files/</a> ,<br>
it has base-specs/gtk3.spec, SUNWgtk3.spec and SUNWgtk3-engines.spec.<br>
They are a valuable starting point. Note, that I couldn't find when you<br>
can witch branches<br>
int web ui, perhaps you'll have to clone the repo and switch manually to<br>
gnome-2-30-s12<br>
branch to see the specs.<br>
