GTK2 -> not able to compile any GTK-program..something wr

Hi, my QNX now runs very stable and I want to start to develop applications, not only for QNX, but for all Systems, where GTK+ is available.
I found cdm’s repository and I downloaded the latest xfree86-packages (4.3). After this I downloaded GTK2 from kinner’s repository and I just pressed the “install”-button …
Then I browsed to the gtk.org-website and started to read the tutorial and after I have tested the simple window-example I realized that I am not able to compile GTK-sources. I noticed that all paths seems to be wrong and now I have uninstalled it to redo the install-step, but then qnxzone and all sub-dirs were not reachable from Germany :/…

I think it would help me a lot, if I can find somewhere a step by step tutorial how to set up gtk2 on QNX…just installing the dev’s is not enough…
It would be great, if someone can give me a source where to find this tutorial.
Sorry that I ask perhaps a stupid question, but for now GTK is the only alternative for me.
Qt is great, but I don’t like their license. wxWidgets is fine, but it seems that it does not run on QNX…so GTK will be fine )…

Sincerely, Andreas Schipplock.

which was the error when you compiled the gtk2 sources?

Hi,
I have compiled the sample program shown here: gtk.org/tutorial/ch-gettingstarted.html
Then I got errors, which told me that many files could not be found.
I include “gtk/gtk.h” like in the sample…and I compile like in the tutorial.
Perhaps I must set any Path ? But where?In the /etc/profile or /user/.profile ?
You see, many questions for a simple problem …

Sincerely, Andreas Schipplock.

The installation isn’t the problem, you just need to tell the compiler where to find all the headers. You can do that with the pkg-config tool,

qcc pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --cflags --libs hellogtk.c -o hellogtk

[code]PING qnxzone.com (209.115.248.145): 56 data bytes

----qnxzone.com PING Statistics----
50 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss[/code]
Do you have mirrored the gtk2-package somewhere ? I have uninstalled the gtk2-package, because I thought a reinstall will help, but then qnxzone.com was down…

Sincerely, Andreas Schipplock.

hehe, rick killed the server last I heard

I know the site admins are on top of it, it should be back online real soon.

No I didn’t - the fact it stopped working right after I switched over to the new site is not related. It was phearbearwho did something to it.

I’m totaly innocent, it was Adrian!

Ok, Adrian wake up and repair the server’s hard or software

It’s up and running now.

very good

Now back to my problem If I follow your hint, there will be no more errors, wo complain about missing files, but now another error is printed:

# qcc `pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --cflags --libs` test1.c -o test1 /usr/bin/ntox86-ld: cannot find -lintl cc: /usr/bin/ntox86-ld error 1

If you would have another good hint for me or a good solution for my problem, I will be very happy …

You need to install libintl . It should be available from one of the repos (maybe even the main 3rd party one).

“lintl” is part of Gnu Gettext, which can be found on the 3rd-party cd as you said before (download.qnx.com/contrib/repository621a)…
I tried to compile and the compiler cannot find “iconv”, but after downloading “libiconv” from the 3rd-party cd this error disappears, too.

Now I am able to develop GTK2-Applications in C.
Thanks to all for the friendly help.

Sincerely, Andreas Schipplock.
