Hello,
I use slackware 14.2 and trying to build wxWidget 3.0.2 which required gtk. Ther are three packages and versions of gtk installed on the system: 1, 2 then 3.
The configuration/compilation achieved without problem but wxWidget will not able to use unicode:
./configure --with-gtk --enable-gtk2 --enable-unicode --enable-debug
The reason is the header gtk.h can not be found for both recent version: gtk+3-3.18.9 and gtk+2-2.24.30.
Then the old version gtk+-1.2.10 will be used instead: unfortunately this version can NOT use unicode !
I need absolutely unicode for wxWidget.
Slackware is not longer use Gnome for years. This means that the 3 gtk packages provided and installed on my system may be very lean and lose some functionality. May be there is many configurations and tools missing.
The question is how to force the compilation to use gtk3 and/or gtk2 not gtk1 ?
On some forum, ther is mentioned to install "header" but I think they are already in:
/usr/include/gtk-3.0/gtk/gtk.h
/usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h
On slackware there is no specific header package for gtk.
May be environnment variables must be set or sym link .. I dont know please help me.
Bellow are a part of debuging screen during configuration of wxWidget:
Code:
...
checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.6.0... Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
no
*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occurred. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed.
checking for pkg-config... (cached) /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for GTK+ - version >= 3.0.0... Package gtk+-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.

*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in

*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in

configure: error:
The development files for GTK+ were not found. For GTK+ 2, please
ensure that pkg-config is in the path and that gtk+-2.0.pc is
installed. For GTK+ 1.2 please check that gtk-config is in the path,
and that the version is 1.2.3 or above. Also check that the
libraries returned by 'pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --libs' or 'gtk-config
--libs' are in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent.
...
This is the result of compilation:
Code:
Configured wxWidgets 3.0.2 for `i686-pc-linux-gnu'
Which GUI toolkit should wxWidgets use? GTK+
Should wxWidgets be compiled into single library? no
Should wxWidgets be linked as a shared library? yes
Should wxWidgets support Unicode? no
What level of wxWidgets compatibility should be enabled?
wxWidgets 2.6 no
wxWidgets 2.8 yes
Which libraries should wxWidgets use?
STL no
jpeg builtin
png builtin
regex builtin
tiff builtin
zlib sys
expat builtin
libmspack no
sdl no
Thanks.
