A friend and I have been developing an application for a university project in Glade 2.0.0, and we're both running Suse 9.0. However, he sent me the entire folder created by Glade, and the app doesn't run properly on my computer: when I open the executable, I can't see the pixmaps on any window. I tried running the autogen.sh again, it runs properly, but when I type make, I got an error saying something saying that it couldn't find "/home/juanes/Proyectos/pd/src/main.c". My guess is that it was trying to find main.c on the directory where it should be on my friend's computer (juanes is his login name). So I opened each and every file in my pd folder and changed every instance of juanes for gesteves (my login name). Now when I type make, I get this:

And make install gives me this:

It still creates the executable in src, but I still can't see the pixmaps (they show up on my friend's comp). I tried opening the .glade file with my glade and re-saving/re-building it, but it doesn't work either. Any suggestions? I really need help with this.

Hello
Try asking your friend to send you the compiled project.
I compile every project at home running Glade 2 on a Slackware machine but when I need to take it elsewhere I take my Knoppix CD and my compiled program. It is true that I can't compile my programs on Knoppix but the compiled files run. And when loading images I don't use Glade's paths but instead I add the line add_pixmap_directory("[dir name]") and load the files from there. If you only say "proj" for example then you must have a proj directory in the directory from where you run the application with all the pixmaps. It is exactly like loading images for html pages.

Good luck, I hope somebody gives you a better answer because I'd be interested too.

I solved it his way:

1.- I created a new gtk project in Glade with just one window and saved it, built it, and compiled it. This created all necesary folders and files.

2.- I moved all files from the src folder of my friend's folder to the new project's src folder, except the makefiles. I also moved the pixmaps folder.

3.- Recompiled the project. Worked perfectly.
