glib-2.54.2 package install in fedora

rangora · 01-13-2018, 10:12 AM

in fact, my aim is install gtk+ higher version then 2.0 in my fedora26.
so i install that required package one by one.
first i download and install 'glib-2.54.2' like this.
./configure -> make -> sudo make install
and there is no any error.
then i download 'gobject-introspection-1.54.1' and type ./configure but console show this massage.

Code:

 configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.54.0) were not met:

Package 'glib-2.0', required by 'virtual:world', not found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

i think that problem is associated with environment variable path
but i recently started linux so i don't know what to do

As far as I am aware, Fedora 26 ships with Gtk+ 3.22.16.

It is usually inadvisable to play around with fundamental packages such as glib on a distro, especially for someone who is new to Linux - so much of the system is reliant on the specific package versions that the distro includes in a particular release.

So, I have to ask: For what specific reason are you trying to do what you're trying to do? Are you trying to play a specific game, for example?

I have to agree with hydrurga here, you should be using your package manager to install software. Unless you are experienced in compiling software on Linux, it can get very messy very quickly, if you do not have the experience.

Why don't you tell us exactly which package it is you would like to install and we can give you some further pointers.

While I'm using CentOS myself, Fedora is a related Linux distribution and the package your after is installed by default on my system.

Code:

actually, i would like to run openCV libraries in code::blocks.
When i compile,in codeblocks, console show this massage.

Code:

OpenCV Error: Unspecified error(The function is not implemented. Rebuild the library with Windows, GTK+2.0 or Carbon support. If you are on Ubuntu or Debian, install libgtk2.0-dev and pkg-config, then re-run cmake or configure script ......etc..

And then when i build opencv with cmake show this.. (opencv3.4.0)
(typing:cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..)

Code:

--   GUI: 
--     GTK+:                        NO
--     VTK support:                 YES (ver 7.1.1)

so i think that need to install GTK+.
then i type 'yum list gtk+-devel' and result is

Code:

Installed Packages
gtk+-devel.x86_64                           1:1.2.10-83.fc26                           @fedora
Available Packages
gtk+-devel.i686                             1:1.2.10-83.fc26                           fedora

this is why i install gtk+2.0.
