Re: [be] compile issues

[Teus Benschop]

Hi,

Which Arch or Suse versions are you using?

Time permitting I can have a look, install those versions, and see how 
to get Bibledit-Gtk run on them.

Since libgtkhtml is not well into 4.x, it is time that bibledit no 
longer insists on using a 3.x version. What also needs investigation is 
whether version 4.x can be used as a drop-in replacement for 3.x, or 
whether other updates are needed.

Teus.
