Problem Installing GTK 3 I am trying to install atk-2.6.0 get problems with Glib
 

Hi! I am trying install GTK 3 but there is lot to install when I am trying to install ATK 2.6.0 I get error its looking at GLIB 2.31.2 when I have finished to install Glib 2.34.3

How do I check if the installation when fine?

I followed this page:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs...ral/glib2.html

I just didn't run the test.

Thanks

I gather you're trying to install stuff that's newer than the distro?

That's always painful, because all the 'requirements' get bumped up to the latest revisions, and instead of what you have, and you have to install bucketloads of stuff whioch requires other bucketloads of stuff. Not only that, but you have to equip yourself to compile the thing from source, and not just run it.

I have tried that with mixed success - like I tried to get Network Manager compiled and ended up looking for (among other things) egg-dbus which project had changed name! Except I needed the name it wasn't. I went through a loop compiling wxwidgets for something for kicad. Kicad was remarkably fussy about what features wxwidgets had, and barfed if I had the wrong set. It was endless: compile wxwidgets; compile (I forget); compile kicad; compile wxwidgets, etc. I never found out the right set!

If you throw up the compile errors (let the compile crash, hit up arrow & return, and make sure you get the early errors), we can sit back and have a punt at what's stopping you, but I would get another idea fairly fast if it doesn't shoehorn in.

I dont know about the distro I want to learn GTK 3 with C so I read you could not do it in 10.04 so now I am updating to 12.04

What do you mean by "let the compile crash, hit up arrow & return, and make sure you get the early errors"

as business_kid pointed out it is a lot of work

and a warning

a newer version can be installed but NOT in /usr !!!
it must not be seen by ubuntu 10 and must NOT be used as the version of glib that ubuntu 10 is using

now a program can use it but not the os
for gtk3 install the new version of glib to " /opt/gtk3"
so that you create a directory tree there
/opt/gtk3/bin
/opt/gtk3/lib
/opt/gtk3/include
/opt/gtk3/share
and export the locations to the dependency you are building

expect it to take a week or to the first time you do this , it gets faster the more times you do it
but at the min. it is a full weekend job

I am trying to install GTK 3.6.4

which I got from http://www.gtk.org/download/linux.php

I am following like here --> https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/sta...-building.html
But I am not compiling 3.2.0

when I type: ./configure --prefix=/opt/gtk
I get:
Which before It was saying GLIB was not found so I did compile/install GLIB-2.34.3 which I think ended successfully
I followed this link - test
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs...ral/glib2.html
How do I know if GLIB is installed correctly?

Now Try to compile ATK

And I get:
But I already installed a different GLIB, something wrong with pkg-config?

It Ubuntu 12 but I guess its the same, right?

Yes If you look at the option it say:"./configure --prefix=/opt/gtk" So all will be in opt, right?

Now this all problem start because it said GLIB is was lower than needed to I need to upgrade, which I think I did, Is there a command which cold tell if GLIB is installed and what version?

Also how can I record the ./config, make and make installed output I cannot not go back in the terminal windows that far back, it takes ages running.

Thanks

Actually I have another question?

Do you need to install GLIB outside de system too? Or the System will use the new GLIB?

I Also looked at the page and said you could run a make check But I didnt look for those packet it suggests to install(shared-mime-info-1.1 and desktop-file-utils-0.21,).It say run time dependency which I dont know what are they.

Thanks

Here is the result of the check.

That sort of error comes up with gcc version problems, and probably glib problems.

If you have to ask us, you are probably going down in flames. A high level of understanding and the ability to grok code is usually required. The guys who achieve what you are attempting are paid to do it all day, or have no friends and no life. I get the feeling you're not in either group.

If you put it in that way I will have to say I am nop ;-). But I still went to bed at 6 am dealing with this and my new Slackware OS ^-^.

But I have to say it has been a good exercises it lead to watch a lecture to Kernels Modules (Very interesting) and got me thinking in those "make check" scripts, I have been reviewing C and C++ from only text editor and making my own make files and it will be nice to learn more about code testing like those make check do.

I'm sorry, that was insensitive. I'm a bit too outspoken to be a good diplomat. But then my pc told me the other day that 'Diplomacy is the art of saying "nice doggy" until you can find a rock.'

I take it I am correct that you're updating beyond your distro. Put up the compile errors and we'll have a punt at them. Everyone has the right to do this to themselves once anyhow without getting branded:-). And if you have slackware, instead of running make install, install this way

make DESTDIR=/tmp/somewhere install

That installs under /tmp/somewhere. cd to /tmp/somewhere, and run

makepkg ../package_name.txz

Then you can run installpkg and removepkg, even upgradepkg

If you are now on Slackware it is as simple as upgrading your system to -current, it already comes with GTK 3.6. As switching the OS seems to be an option for you Fedora 18 may also be worth a try, it should also have GTK 3.6.
