where are gtk+-2.0 libraries in rhe codesourcery toolchain

Hi All,

I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and the Code Sourcery 2011.09 toolchain. Our target is a BeagleBoard (ARM). We can use the toolchain to compile for our target successfully, as long as we don't use gtk. When we try to include gtk/gtk we get this:

fatal error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory

We cannot find gtk+-2.0 anywhere in the toolchain.

Can anyone tell us where to find it or do we have to install it and if so, where from?

Thanks for your help.

Welcome to LQ.

We can use the toolchain to compile for our target successfully, as long as we don't use gtk.

I guess, you have just been lucky (until now) that no any extra
libraries were required. Usually nothing but the libs supplied by
*libc and gcc are part of a tool chain.

GTK2 and dependencies must be cross compiled before you can use it:
glib, atk, cairo, pango, gdk-pixbuf →

Thanks for answering our question.

One more thing. We are Linux noobs. Can you point us at a doc, or something, that will give us instructions on how to build this stuff?

Thanks again.

Say your other arm stuff has a location like /opt/arm/ .

Then start with glib http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/glib/ ,
like : cd glib-2.24.2/ && ./configure --prefix=/opt/arm/ && make
&& sudo make install :
Then the libraries will have this location : /opt/arm/lib/

The following packages, atk etc. , something like :
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/arm/lib
&& export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/opt/arm/lib/pkgconfig && <etc.>

One more question!

We did the following:

dennis@Ubuntu:~/glib-2.24.2$ ./configure --prefix=/home/dennis/arm-2011.09 && make && sudo make install

It worked fine, however, any compiling that was done was not done with our cross compiler whose name is "arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc" is there a way to tell configure to use this compiler?

Thanks again for the help.

First : cd glib-2.24.2/ && sudo make uninstall
( sudo is only required in /home/dennis/
if sudo by mistake was used at install ).


The "install" commands can be like :

export CC=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc &&
./configure --prefix=/home/dennis/arm-2011.09 && make
&& make install : No sudo !

.

Hi,

we did this:

dennis@Ubuntu:~/glib-2.24.2$ ./configure --prefix=/home/dennis/arm-2011.09

and got this:

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.

We do not know what ./config wants for the --host parameter. Can you help?

This is a serious error :

configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.

./configure --prefix=/home/dennis/arm-2011.09 \
CC="arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -I /<path-to-libc-headers>"

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.

Probably add a configure option like --host=arm..

.

Thanks again for all your help.

We did this:

dennis@Ubuntu:~/glib-2.24.2$ ./configure --prefix=/home/dennis/arm-2011.09 -I /home/dennis/arm-2011.09/arm-none-linux-gnueabi --host=arm

and got this:

configure: error: unrecognized option: `-I'
Try `./configure --help' for more information.
dennis@Ubuntu:~/glib-2.24.2$

-I and -L options must be inside double quotes with the used gcc* to work.
Example: ./configure CC="gcc -I/<folder> -I/<other-folder> -L/<??>"

Like :
./configure CC="arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -I /<path-to-libc-headers>"

... Where <path-to-libc-headers> could be
/home/dennis//arm-2011.09/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/include/ ,
if that's the folder with the *libc files.h

.

we did this:

dennis@Ubuntu:~/glib-2.24.2$ ./configure --prefix=/home/dennis/arm-2011.09 CC="arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -I /home/dennis/arm-2011.09/arm-none-linux-gnueabi" --host=arm

configure: error: *** Working zlib library and headers not found ***

thanks again!

Please try this option instead of --host=arm :
--host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi

configure: error: *** Working zlib library and headers not found ***

zlib must be cross compiled before glib-2.24.2

.

If you were using Ubuntu with the Linaro toolchain, you would not need to cross-compile the libs for ARM, you should be able to use dpkg-cross / xapt instead.

Thanks for your help.

We are linux noobs. We have installed the Linaro toolchain, but do not know how "dpkg-cross / xapt" solves our problem. Can you explain pls?

Thanks
