I am trying to contribute to mypaint, when attempting to compile the source code

i issue $scons command

result:

Code:

scons: Reading SConscript files ...
building for 'python2.7' (use scons python_binary=xxx to change)
using 'python2.7-config' (use scons python_config=xxx to change)
rm -f libmypaint-tests.so libmypaint.so libmypaintlib.so
Enabling i18n for brushlib in full application build
swig -Wall -o mypaintlib_wrap.cpp -noproxydel -python -c++ mypaintlib.i
rm -f _mypaintlib.so
Package gtk+-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-3.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

    return function(self, self.backtick(command))
  File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Environment.py", line 596:
    raise OSError("'%s' exited %d" % (command, status))

any ideas?

thanks in advance

Have you solved this:

Code:

Package gtk+-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-3.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-3.0' found

It seems that gtk3+ is missing on your system, install it and try again.

Hi
and the pc file normally comes from the dev package

depending on your distro that means
libgtk-3-dev
libgtk-3

are debian names YMMV

thank you both for answering my question, I really appreciate it.

Quote:

that basically solved my problem, I ran into dependencies hell but in the end was able to solve it.

I am using ubuntu and I had to install libgtk-3-dev python-gi-dev python-gobject-2-dev liblcms2-2 liblcms2-dev libjson0-dev

and hopefully I didn't forget any.

thanks again
