glade prob
by oguz eren 19 Jan '04

19 Jan '04

Hi, I'm trying to learn glade. autogen.sh failed on my first try; giving the error below: ./configure: line 4068: syntax error near unexpected token `PACKAGE,' ./configure: line 4068: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(PACKAGE, $pkg_modules)' Then i learned that i had to install pkgconfig; i did so; but this time autogen gave the following error: checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0... Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gtk+-2.0' found configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. How do i have to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable? Thanks in advance.

visual diff editor
by John Lamb 31 Oct '03

31 Oct '03

I'm looking for an editor/viewer that can show two files side by side with differences. Any suggestions? There seems to be one embedded in cervisia and I recall something called vdiff that was available on solaris a few years back. -- JDL Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit.

newbie-gui lib for c quickie
by oguz eren 30 Oct '03

30 Oct '03

Hi again, I'm trying to learn c. Soon i'll be deciding which gui library to use. I know there exists qt, gtk, and tk. AFAIK, qt is for kde, which i generally use.But any suggestions are welcome. I guess i'll need a good book also. Since there are no books about qt or gtk programming here in Turkey, it'll be difficult for me to choose. So i'll get your help again, to order a book from amazon. Thanks in advance..

newbie prob with sqrt in c
by oguz eren 29 Oct '03

29 Oct '03

Hi, I'm so new with c language, therefore this may be a fool one. Here's my code: #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> main() { double x; x = 64.0; printf("kok : %f.\n", sqrt(x)); return 0; } In function `main': : undefined reference to `sqrt' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Seems it can't find it in math.h; true? A grep showed me it's in tgmath.h instead.But including tgmath.h also didn't change anything. Thanks in advance..

GTK 2.2.2
by dim owner 27 Oct '03

27 Oct '03

Hi, Much thanks in advance for any help with this! I'd like to use the latest Gimp, which requires GTK >= 2.2.2 ... I'm not sure how to do the upgrade. Ideally, I could use the redhat RPM, but I'm not sure if that would work ; also, I'm not sure what packages this would upgrade (and what extra rpms I may need), if any besides the GTK lib package. If not, should I uninstall gtk2 packages before compiling the tarball? What directories need to be set, etc, so it will correctly replace the GTK2 packages?

Two GNU build questions
by John Lamb 25 Oct '03

25 Oct '03

Any suggestions gratefully received. Can I put anything in configure.ac/Makefile.am to set some default CXXFLAGS? For my own programs I _always_ use -Wall -pedantic -ansi and I usually want either -O2 or -g -O0. How do I get GNU build to detect the processor. In particular, how do I get it to compile for pentium4 or i686 depending on the processor? -- JDL Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit.

glib2 on 9.0
by James Ogley 22 Oct '03

22 Oct '03

I'm trying to build gtkhtml 3.0.9 on SuSE 9.0 Pro, but this applies to a whole bunch of things that use glib2 (Evolution, AbiWord2 for example...) I get the following error: In file included from /opt/gnome/include/glib-2.0/glib/galloca.h:30, from /opt/gnome/include/glib-2.0/glib.h:30, from /opt/gnome/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdktypes.h:32, from /opt/gnome/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkcolor.h:4, from /opt/gnome/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdk.h:30, from /opt/gnome/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h:31, from /opt/gnome/include/libgnomeui-2.0/gnome.h:4, from gtkhtml-embedded.c:25: /opt/gnome/include/glib-2.0/glib/gtypes.h:41: error: syntax error before "typedef" I actually get a whole bunch of parse and syntax errors, far too many to paste into an email, and the make then fails. The exact same code, with the same version of glib2 on 8.2 (I've checked gtypes.h on both systems - they are the same) builds fine. Does anyone have any thought on what could be up here?

Compiling sendmail on 8.2
by Stefan Suurmeijer 21 Oct '03

21 Oct '03

Hi list, I just tried to compile Sendmail 8.12.10 on my SuSE 8.2 box and ran into a load of errors. After some searching I don't think it's a configuration error, looks like some kind of library issue, maybe something with gcc. The errors I get are the following: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/3.3/../../../libbind.so: undefined reference to `pthread_getspecific' /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/3.3/../../../libbind.so: undefined reference to `pthread_key_create' /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/3.3/../../../libbind.so: undefined reference to `pthread_setspecific' has anyone else run into this already and maybe found a solution? TIA, Stefan

Task manager substitution (SuSE 8.2)
by expatriate 08 Oct '03

08 Oct '03

Hello In order to help recent converts from microsoft, I've been looking into a graphical program to allow process monitoring and manipulation. Does anyone know of a "pretty good" program with GUI that would allow one to monitor performance and effect kill commands to running processes? I downloaded gPS from tucows and I'm in the middle of compile-hell. Should I continue down this path or is there something else out there? TIA & cheers <rant> Why would gtk-devel not be part of gtk sources? Who in their right mind go through all the trouble to compile gtk libraries unless they were "developers" also? <!rant>

07 Oct '03

Hello I have yet to find out how to program a doubleclick from say, button #6 from my mouse so I've decided to modify/write the USB mouse driver as my first "kernel" project. Before I start can someone confirm that this hasn't already been done? TIA

Rebuilding binary kernel RPMs
by Eric Sandeen 05 Oct '03

05 Oct '03

Hi, if this isn't the right list, I apologize in advance, and perhaps you can point me in the right direction. I'm trying to figure out how to get from a kernel-source.src.rpm anda k_smp.src.rpm to a k_smp.i586.rpm. I'm more familiar with how Red Hat does kernel builds, and I have not yet figured out the tricks for SuSE. Some questions that come to mind... How is the k_smp.src.rpm generated? How is it (and/or kernel-source.src.rpm) used to re-generate a binary k_smp.i586.rpm? I'd like to make some changes to the stock SuSE kernel, and build & package it just as SuSE does, for installation on several machines. is this documented anywhere?

I've compile & link the program with -pg, but calls to these functions does not shown up? Rgds, Verdi -- NEU FÜR ALLE - GMX MediaCenter - für Fotos, Musik, Dateien...
