\ **** If this line is included, compilation fails
extern: GtkAdjustment * "C" gtk_adjustment_new( double value, double lower, double upper, double step_increment, double page_increment, double page_size );
\ But if this line is included instead (wrong params), it compiles
\ extern: GtkAdjustment * "C" gtk_adjustment_new( longlong value, longlong lower, longlong upper, longlong step_increment, longlong page_increment, longlong page_size );
\ This one works (4 doubles instead of 6)
\ extern: void "C" gtk_render_background( int * context, int * cr, double x, double y, double width, double height );

Sorry for the delay - the automagic code that is supposed to notify me doesn't notify me.

I'll fire up a Pi in my ample spare time, but one of your other priorities is engaging my time.
