These alternate frontends using the GtkApplication class don't work before GTK3, because the GtkApplication class didn't exist. In the old mkfiles.pl system, the simplest way to prevent a build failure was to just compile them anyway but make them reduce to a stub main(). But now, with the new library-based code organisation, library search order issues mean that these applications won't build at all. Happily, with cmake, it's also easy to simply omit these binaries from the build completely depending on our GTK version.
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
The PuTTY home web site is

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
