Our target Linux platform has glibc-2.3 (compatible with version 8.0) . Our hope was to implement version 2010 which fixes some serious shorcomings in version 8.0, however it requires glibc-2.5. This library is integral to the Linux OS and can't be updated alone. Because our CVI application is a wrapper on a third party software product, upgrading the OS is not an option.
What we desire is release of 2010 that is compatible with glibc-2.3, even if there are limitations.
One serious problem in version 8.0 for which we have no work-around:
On some Linux systems, FileSelectPopup
doesn't show all the files in a directory.
Others for which we begrudgingly deal with:
Displaying a panel can take a long time
when other threads are processing system events. While the panel is trying to
display, the contents of the panel might be entirely black. (Limiting all GUI calls to a single thread avoids this)
On some Linux systems, FileSelectPopup
doesn't show all the files in a directory.
Panels can behave erratically when their
size is modified from within the panel callback as a result of a size event.
(The size returned is different than what is programmatically set).
