GIMP Compatiblity with gtk+-2.90.x

GIMP (git) is not currently compatible with gtk+2.90.x versions (gtk+-3.0).

The first error I ran into is the use of deprecated functions:

  CC     gimpbrowser.lo In file included from gimpwidgets.h:75:0,                  from gimpbrowser.c:30: ../libgimpwidgets/gimpunitmenu.h:48:3: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'GtkOptionMenu'
../libgimpwidgets/gimpunitmenu.h:65:3: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'GtkOptionMenuClass'
make: *** [gimpbrowser.lo] Error 1

What are the plans to make GIMP (git) compatible with the gtk+?

GIMP 2.x is a GTK+ 2.x application, GIMP 3.x will be a GTK+ 3.x application.

We guarantee the same API and ABI compatibility for our plug-ins as GTK+ does, so we can't move to GTK+ 2.90 now.

After GIMP 2.8 (which will use GTK+ 2.22) is out, we will move to GTK+ 3.x (and thus GIMP 3.x).

Besides, why are you bulding GIMP against GTK+ git master anyway, GTK+ master is currently not good for anything but developing GTK+ 3.0 itself, and porting applications to it. You should stick with the gtk-2-22 branch if you want bleeding edge of the GTK+ you are used to.
