I'm starting to write a C++ interface application using Glade as generator. I'm using a Slackware 10.1 distribution with kernel 2.4.29 and glade 2.6.0. To be able to obtain C++ code I've installed the following libraries:
gtkmm-2.4.8
glibmm-2.4.8
libsigc++-2.0.9
libglademm-2.4.2
Now Glade generates my C++ code and the autogen.sh script to create the Makefile.
The problem is that when I try to compile the code using "make", I have this error:

make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/Project/3kvp'
Making all in src
make[2]: Entering directory `/root/Project/3kvp/src'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `3kvp.c', needed by `3kvp.o'. Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/Project/3kvp/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/Project/3kvp'
make: *** [all] Error 2

It seems that the complier is tryng to compile a .c file but my source file is a .cc file.

How can I solve this problem?

Thank's

You can go it the Makefile and change the filename in there. but you also better make sure its using g++ and not gcc to compile.

Thank you Leonscape.
I've followed your suggestion and I'm sure I use g++, but now I have a problem with library path.
When I try to compile the error message is:

I installed libraries in /usr/local using make and make install commands. Then I copied .pc files from usr/local/lib/pkgconfig to /usr/lib/pkgconfig
Is this the problem? What I have to do to correct this error?

It appears that the program hasn't configured properly as you have got

3kvp.cc:8:20: config.h: No such file or directory
3kvp.cc:9:24: gtkmm/main.h: No such file or directory

I( suggest you do a reconfigure and check the paths, you may have to set the prefix, and possibly other paths, do a

./configure --help

and check what options you can set, simply moving the files arounf is generally a bad idea.

OK! I'm trying to do that and I will eliminate the copy of .pc files that I putted in /usr/lib/pkgconfig.

But what I don't understand is why I don't have /usr/local in my library path.
It seems that libraries are correctly installed in /usr/local (default option), but each library search other ones in /usr only and not also in /usr/local.

How can I check if my library path is correct?

Thank's

I've uninstalled libraries and I've reconfigured them using ./configure with --prefix=/usr option.
Then I've recompiled and reinstalled them.
Everything was OK about libsigc++, glibmm and gtkmm, but during the reconfiguration process of the glademm library, I had this warning message:

I know that I don't have installed libgnomemm and libbonobomm libraries (if necessary I will do it), but I dont know if this warning message is important or not using glademm.
Can I compile and install the library without problems?

Thank's leonscape, I solved my problem.
I compiled the library glademm without considering the warning, then I compiled my software.
I also found that the automatic generation of the makefile doesn't add the command 'pkg-config gtkmm-2.0 --cflags -- libs'.
Adding this to the g++ command the compiler work fine.
I would like to modify the automatic generation of the makefile but I don't know where and what I have to modify.
Any suggestion for me?

Thank's

Sorry not really, I'm a KDE developer, So I don't have much to do with the gtkmm, glade and the rest.

Glad you got it working.

Glade code generation is depreciated in favour of loading the glade file at runtime.
This also works out to be a lot easier!

There is some documentation on how to load the glade file and access the widgets at
http://www.gtkmm.org/gtkmm2/docs/tut...html/ch19.html

My original idea was to develop my application using QT libraries and Kdevelop, but when I try to edit C++ code I have this message:

There is no plugin for editing C++ code installed!
Note: plugins are not available in static Qt configurations

Now I will proceed using gtk, but, for the future, if I will have to develop C++ applications with Qt, where I could find the required plugin?

Thank you mythagel, I will read it.

I assume its where you got the rest of KDE, check the source where you got the slack packages, or you could try this.
