My C program (XM3DEDIT) has numerous gtk,gdk,X11 library calls. I am compiling from PUPPY console. The program has previous compile and run
history from RedHat 9.0 all OK. The compiled program also runs fine on PUPPY. But the command:

# gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` 00XM3DEDIT.c -o XM3DEDIT

produces numerous dependency errors. It is latest gcc and seems OK.

Q1: What are correct #include(s) to fold in the dependents.

Q2: What is correct command line to replace gcc arguments above.

Thanks,

djohan

you do know that RH9 is almost like Windows 98 , same era win98/xp( no sp)

if the code was for rh9
that is the 2.4 kernel
that was replaced a long time ago by the 2.6

there is NO operating susyem that will be easly to build code for rh9

it is like trying to build win98 16 bit code on a win8 computer
-- will not work out well

this post also is VERY close to this ubuntu post

you can "try" ???? to build it
but you wil need some VERY old code and antique programs
to start with gcc 2.9 or OLDER
then the VERY OLD gtk1 ( gtk3 is the current)

You might want to quote the error messages (at least the first few (not the last ones!)), for those who aren't clairvoyants.

Since then even the linker's behaviour has been changed, try this:

From djohan: Adding the linker reduced messages from about 200 to 4 (3 warnings +1 error).
The error msg was:

/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/cc4rz1DJ.o undefined reference to symbol 'atan2@@GLIBC_2.0'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'atan2@@GLIBC_2.0' is defined in DSO /lib/libm.so.6 so try
adding it to the linker command line
/lib/libm.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: 1d returned 1 exit status

Note: Followed the instructions above (Put /lib/libm.so.6 inside linker quotes) and compiled with only three warnings. But new error message was:

/usr/bin/1d: cannot open output file XM3DEDIT: No such file or directory
collect2: 1d returned 1 exit status

as per the error
and the possible fix it told you
did you try adding libm ????

but this is old rh9 code
do not expect it to work on a modern OS

I'd reorder it, putting -lm to the end:

Quote the actual message, not only type in what you see/remember (1d and ld are different)

The gcc command compiled as follows:

gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` 00XM3DEDIT.c -o XM3DEDIT \
`pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0` -lm

Compile was clean with no warnings or errors. XM3DEDIT runs OK so far.

My console doesn't provide select/copy of text so above was typed in (beware!).
Also backslash should be dropped.
Thanks, Don

Off: The backslash at the end of a line means continuation line follows
Off2: In X Window System, you can use left mouse button to select text, right/middle button to paste the selected test.
