A little help w/compiling PyGtk

cwwilson721 · 12-15-2006, 04:15 PM

I need PyGtk-2 for another prog to work correctly...

When I ./configure --prefix=/usr , heres an odd thing:

Code:

The following modules will be built:

atk
pango
gtk with 2.8 API
gtk.glade

The following modules will NOT be built:

pangocairo
gtk.unixprint

Then, after 'make', I get this error:

Code:

tkmodule.c:33:22: pycairo.h: No such file or directory
gtkmodule.c:34: error: syntax error before '*' token
gtkmodule.c:34: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `Pycairo_CAPI'
gtkmodule.c:34: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
gtkmodule.c: In function `init_pycairo':
gtkmodule.c:182: error: `Pycairo_IMPORT' undeclared (first use in this function)
gtkmodule.c:182: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
gtkmodule.c:182: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[2]: *** [_gtk_la-gtkmodule.lo] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/gtktmp/pygtk-2.10.0'

Ideas?

Do you have pycairo, it's a Python module, installed? It's supposed to be an optional package for PyGTK, but PyGTK may not compile properly if pycairo is not installed.

I have an older release of pyGTK in my repository which does not need separate pygobject and pycairo packages.
But I have built the latest pygtk release now, and have already created the required pycairo and pygobject packages. I shall upload all this shortly to http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/
Please test them and tell me if they work for you.

Edit: cwwilson721 told me that the packages work.

Yes.

Again, Eric to the rescue...lol

They work fine...
