I put “gtk tutorial” into Google (with or without the quotes,
I don’t remember) and got the sec-scribble.html page. It’s a
silly little paint program that I wanted to turn into a
nice console font editor.
gcc -W -O2 -Wall -s `gtk-config –libs –cflags` simple.c
That should do it, right? Nope. It won’t work with either
gtk-1.2 or gtk-2.0 libraries. Given that this is a tutorial,
and should not be relying on advanced features, I think that
it shouldn’t matter what gtk I have.
Supposing that’s the problem though, gtk is clearly way
too volatile to rely on.
Maybe you didn’t install the headers?
Do some investigation before you flame something down. It may very well be your own fault since it does work for everybody else.
In the Linux world, NEVER expect things to be compatible.
Luckely, often things are. But stuff breaks too damn often.
I can say the same thing about any operating system, including Windows.
Don’t believe me? Write an app that uses GetWindowModuleFileName() and see how it acts differently on Win9x and NT/XP!
cant seem to get Pango to return a good version number..
./configure
make
make install
then go to get gtk configured and i get
checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.4.0 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.5.1… Requested ‘pango >= 1.5.1’ but version of Pango is 1.4.0
:: shrugs :: anyone know a little fix to this? (note: im still a linux novice.)
Of course the headers are installed. I’m hitting
problems on both…
1. my own box, running Debian-woody on ppc
2. the SuSE AMD64 box on the SourceForge compile farm
Using GTK 2 (via gtk-config into sed, ugh) the AMD64 box
gives errors starting with:

http://www.gtk.org/~otaylor/gtk/tutorial/scribble-simple.c works just fine here:
gebner@schnecke2 ~/tmp/scribble-simple [0] $ gcc -o scribble-simple `gtk-config –libs –cflags` scribble-simple.c
gebner@schnecke2 ~/tmp/scribble-simple [0] $
Excellent. That one even works with the gtk-1.2 library!
The tutorial that Google returns, on that very
same gtk.org site, is no good:
http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/sec-scribble.html
(tried with both gtk-1.2 and gtk-2.0)
Perhaps that one needs to be deleted?
Without even trying the tutorial (cannot do that since I’m not at home now) I can tell you that you’re lucky if it compiles with gtk-config since that is a gtk-1.x utility no longer used.
The way to compile GTK2 programs is by using pkg-config:
$ gcc `pkg-config gtk+2.0 –libs –cflags` myprog.c -o myprog
Don’t remember the exact name for “gtk+2.0” above, it may be something different (but similar). Use “pkg-config –list-all | grep -i gtk” to find out
