Make gtk+ failure

arubin · 06-03-2004, 05:47 PM

I am trying to install gtk+ 2.4

I upgrade glib and pango and gtk+ configured OK but the make has failed with

gdk/.libs/libgdk-x11-2.0.so:undefined reference to 'g_unset_env'

then more similar undefined references and finally Error 1 and Error 2

I made the mistake of then doing a make install.

What is going wrong with the make and how can I make make work?

TIA

I could be wrong here, but I think this error happens if you install atk so that it's linked against an older version of glib. What versions of these things did you install. where did you install them (--prefix=/?) and in what order did you install them?

glib2.4.1 then
pango 1.4.0
then gtk +2.4.0

all using default ./configure except gtk which was --with-xinput=xfree
which was the whole point of the exercise to getthe wacom stylus working properly with slackware

You'll need to install atk-1.6 after glib and before gtk-2.4. You'll need to make sure that they don't link against the libraries installed with slack by setting some variables

Code:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"

Those will only be set till you close the shell so if you open it again you'll need to reset them.

I thought I sorted it.
I installed atk 1.6
used a different copy of gtk.
paid a bit more attention to whther I was user or su

But now I have had an error making gimp

/home/alan/packages/gimp2/gimp-2.0.0/libgimpwidgets/.libs/libgimpwidgets-2.0.so: undefined reference to `gdk_threads_lock'
/home/alan/packages/gimp2/gimp-2.0.0/libgimpwidgets/.libs/libgimpwidgets-2.0.so: undefined reference to `gdk_threads_unlock'

"...a different copy of gtk" is a little vague. Do you think you could be more specific?

Originally I tried gtk+-2.4.0.tar.gz which I had downloaded.

On the theory that the file could have got corrupted I used gtk+-2.4.0.tar.bz2 which I found in a cd magazine

The error making gimp2 is especially frustrating because it had been compiling for over 30 minutes before the error.

I have now managed to recompile gimp2
I re-installed glib2, pango and atk from slackware current packages
Recompiled gtk
Recompiled gimp2
I then had a problem with libXinerama.so.1 not being found.
Sorted that with

cd /usr/X11R6/lib
ld --whole-archive -share -o libXinerama.so.1 libXinerama.a
ln -s libXinerama.so.1 libXinerama.so
ldconfig

Then compiled and installed Gimp2
Only problem is that the various wacom graphire components are still not being recognised as separate which was the whole point of the exercise.
