glade prob

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.

Pointer strangeness
by Steven T. Hatton 08 Apr '03

08 Apr '03

I'm now trying to really get a handel on pointers. I must admit this stuff has always been confusing to me. The code below produces an unexpected result when it is run. The last line of output is "HelloClass::memberIntPtr = -1073747936". I expected it to be "HelloClass::memberIntPtr = 1848", as it is in the previous invocation of sayHello(). My guess as to what is happening is that my use of a member variable of type string, and then assigning to that variable is resulting in and over write of the memory pointed to by HelloClass::memberPtr. Is my understanding of what's happening correct? What's the proper remedy for this situation? #include <iostream> // cout, cin #include <string> using namespace std; class HelloClass { public: HelloClass::HelloClass(); void sayHello(); /** Accessors for HelloClass::message */ void setMessage(string messageStr="This is the default setMessage message."); string getMessage(); /** Accessors for HelloClass::messagePtr */ void setMessagePtr(string messageStr="This is the default setMessagePtr message."); string getMessagePtr(); /** Accessors for HelloClass::memberInt */ void setMemberInt(int memberInt=2112); int getMemberInt(); /** Accessors for HelloClass::memberIntPtr */ void setMemberIntPtr(int memberIntPtr=1848); int getMemberIntPtr(); private: string message; string *messagePtr; int memberInt; int *memberIntPtr; }; /** Constructor: initialize all member variables. */ HelloClass::HelloClass(){ this->message = "c++bean message. Assigned in constructor."; this->messagePtr = (new string("c++bean messagePtr. Assigned in constructor.")); this->memberInt = 42; int temp = 100760; this->memberIntPtr = &temp; } /** Accessors for HelloClass::message */ void HelloClass::setMessage(string messageStr){ this->message = messageStr; } string HelloClass::getMessage(){ return this->message; } /** Accessors for HelloClass::messagePtr */ void HelloClass::setMessagePtr(string messageStr){ this->messagePtr = new string(messageStr); } string HelloClass::getMessagePtr(){ return *this->messagePtr; } /** Accessors for HelloClass::memberInt */ void HelloClass::setMemberInt(int memberInt){ this->memberInt = memberInt; } int HelloClass::getMemberInt(){ return this->memberInt; } /** Accessors for HelloClass::memberIntPtr */ void HelloClass::setMemberIntPtr(int memberIntPtr){ this->memberIntPtr = &memberIntPtr; } int HelloClass::getMemberIntPtr(){ return *this->memberIntPtr; } /** Output the properties of HelloClass*/ void HelloClass::sayHello() { cout << "HelloClass::message = " << this->getMessage() << endl; cout << "HelloClass::messagePtr = " << this->getMessagePtr() << endl; cout << "HelloClass::memberInt = " << this->getMemberInt() << endl; cout << "HelloClass::memberIntPtr = " << this->getMemberIntPtr() << endl; cout << "___________________________" << endl; } main() { HelloClass h; h.sayHello(); h.setMessage(); h.setMessagePtr(); h.setMemberInt(); h.setMemberIntPtr(); h.sayHello(); h.setMessage("User defined \"Hello World\" message."); h.sayHello(); return 0; }

Undepricated gcc Hello World?
by Steven T. Hatton 31 Mar '03

31 Mar '03

I tried to write the most basic hello world program I know of in c++ and I am getting deprication messages from gcc when I compile. Looking through the the documentation I have on line has merely lead to several levels of indirection. What am I supposed to use insted of <iostream.h>? And where do I find documentation on this which won't take me an hour to figure out how to use basic standard in and standard out? STH

I don't understand. During normal day to day admin, I would need to rsync files from /etc to /config/etc. Then immediately after a system disk replacement, I would have to reverse the rsync. It seems possible, but it also seems like eventually I would screw something up and lose my user accounts. I could use timestamps to try to avoid a screw up, but somehow I don't really trust that approach. >> > I should be able to just write a short script: >> > >> > #!/bin/sh >> > chroot /config useradd $* >> You'll need to copy a shell, libc, and whatever else useradd needs >> into the chroot as well. >> -- >> -ckm I copied over a dozen or so files and I still could not get it to work. I ran strace on useradd to see what was failing. It seemed to revolve around PAM authentication which can get fairly involved. So I gave up on that approach. Instead, I got the shadow-4.0.2.src.rpm off of the CDs and extracted the source. Then I edited ./lib/defines.h to have === #define PASSWD_FILE "/config/etc/passwd" #define GROUP_FILE "/config/etc/group" #define SHADOW_FILE "/config/etc/shadow" #define SGROUP_FILE "/config/etc/gshadow" === And did a make; make install. So far it seems to be working, but I have done very little testing. In particular, I have not tested a single-user boot!!! I hope this effectively means that all changes are made to my /config/etc set of files, but PAM uses the /etc set I have setup as --bind to the /config set. BTW: One nice thing about using binds for this is that if /config is not available, or if I boot single user mode, then the underlying files are still available and I _hope_ I can still login with the base accounts like root. Thanks Greg

Header Files, CommonC++ && All that?
by Steven T. Hatton 28 Mar '03

28 Mar '03

I want to use the class described on the page found here on my SuSE 8.1. (It requiers the CommonC++ documentation to be installed.) file:///usr/share/doc/packages/CommonC++-doc/html/classost_1_1_string_tokenizer.html#_details How would one typically (correctly) include such a library in his code? If I follow K&R 2nd. Ed., they put the #includes for libraries in any .c file that relies on them. Is that technically necessarily? From my experimentation, id doesn't /seem/ to be necessary. All that is required to get the code to run is that the one of the header files referenced in the .c includes the particular library. But 'technically' correct, and stylistically correct are not the same thing. What is the prefered /style/? Is this CommonC++ library really common? If I put it in my code and distribute it, will a bunch of people curse me? Is it the best bag of trick to draw from for general functionality such as string tokenization. I'm writing for a QT/KDE environment. STH

What does 'this' really mean?
by Steven T. Hatton 28 Mar '03

28 Mar '03

In Java I can do this.method(); on any method of my current class, or any super class as long as the method is not private. From toying around a bit in C++, it seems I can't do this->methodOfSuper(); Is that a correct understanding? STH

I haven't done that for a few years now. :o) PHP is clearly a useful skill to know these days. I have the book "Core PHP Programming" which seems to contain far too much waffle. The variables section, for instance, starts off buy describing that a variable "is a value held somewhere in the computer's RAM", etc. So I gave up on that and am now wading through the online PHP manual, which is very good. The language is quite simple compared to peers like Perl, and doesn't seem to have any unique features to learn (except the === operator which I've not seen before). I've not produced anything with it yet, but I'm confident it's the right choice for what I need. -- "...our desktop is falling behind stability-wise and feature wise to KDE ...when I went to Mexico in December to the facility where we launched gnome, they had all switched to KDE3." - Miguel de Icaza, March 2003
