hey all, i just recently finished a class on c++ programming so I have all the basics down, and I wanted to take it to the next level w/ gui programming. Currently I am running gnome w/ ubuntu hoary...I wrote my first sample program off the gtkmm website, but it gives me this when i compile w/ g++:

bigcx2@zero ~/c++ $ g++ gtk.cpp -o gtk

I have no idea what do with this...any suggestions?

Also, I recently got Anjuta IDE and I never got into using before but today when I started it, the splash screen comes up and then hangs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hate not being able to figure stuff out like this myself but it's just driving me nuts.

sounds like you don't have gtk1 installed, or at least any matching -dev .deb file. no idea if there is one or not to be honest though. if everything seems to be installed then check if any relevant include directory, e.g. /usr/include, /usr/local/include... does contain gtk/gtk.h and such.

i know i have the right header files installed but they are not in /usr/include/c++/ they are in /usr/include/gtkmm-2.0/gtkmm/.
How do I get g++ to recognize these files?

Just copy over the header files in /usr/include/gtkmm-2.0/gtkmm/
to the /usr/include/c++/ directory. Should work if /usr/include/c++/ is where g++ is looking for the header files

ok wasn't sure if that would mess anything up....be back in a couple

Bad practice to copy stuff around ...

Use
instead.

nope, no luck

oh the command g++ gtk.cpp -o gtk `pkg-config --cflags gtk+`gives me about 300 more errors than the first...

pkg-config --cflags gtk+

If you run that on the command-line, what do you get?

And is it still complaing about the missing header?


Cheers,
Tink

bigcx2@zero ~/c++ $ pkg-config --cflags gtk+
-I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include

remember that you are dealing directly with gtkmm, not gtk+. i assume you'd want cflags for both, but i'm not sure. either way, gtkmm and gtk+ are going to use gtk-config and gtkmm-config, only gtk2 uses the pkg-config system.

bigcx2@zero ~/c++ $ pkg-config --cflags gtkmm
Package gtkmm was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtkmm.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtkmm' found
bigcx2@zero ~/c++ $ locate gtkmm.pc
bigcx2@zero ~/c++ $

exactly my point above... "gtkmm-config --cflags --libs" i assume

ooh! looks like we're getting somewhere!

bigcx2@zero ~/c++ $ g++ gtk.cpp -o gtk `gtkmm-config --cflags --libs`
gtk.cpp: In function `int main(int, char**)':
gtk.cpp:13: error: parse error before `return'


here check out the code:

bigcx2@zero ~/c++ $ g++ gtk.cpp -o gtk `gtkmm-config --cflags --libs`
gtk.cpp: In function `int main(int, char**)':
gtk.cpp:13: error: parse error before `return'

woops hold on
