Re: [platform-swt-dev] Problems with the Mozilla binding

As far as I remember, the Gecko String API is totally reworked in 1.7, which also affects the EmbedString. Embedding clients build against 1.7 won't work in earlier versions (like 1.6 & 1.4).

 

There was a long document somewhere explaining why they decided to do such changes in the String stuffs (mostly performance reasons - avoiding vtbl calls), but I can't find it at the very moment..

1.4 GTK2 SDK is used to build libraries and plugins binary compatibles with 1.4 and above - including 1.7. Not sure if 1.7 SDK has certain changes that would give you trouble... Also, building against 1.7 SDK could cause older versions to not work.
