Glade not generating...

[Elrohir]

I just installed Glade and after building source code, I go for the ./autogen.sh and I get an error about not having installed glib comes up...

anyone had this error? anyway to fix it?

[Elrohir]

nobody?

[Elrohir]

nobody? talk to me people, at least say that you're searching or something...

i must admit i'm tired of answering this ... :}

* do not generate code using glade; generate XML (data) and load it using libglade @ runtime of your application

there is a pattern here: "lib***-dev" .. so we search:


aptitude search libgtk

..then


aptitude install libgtk2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev

(i believe libgtk2.0-dev pulls libglib2.0-dev and others too though) .. also consider getting libgtk2.0-doc .. etc.

also see: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/libglade/

and how do I do this?

lnostad, new problem with Glade... I'm trying to build the source code on C++, and when I go for the ./autogen.sh step I get this error:

Source code generation is depreciated, use libglade to create the gui from the glade project file (something.glade).

Here are two links you should have a look at:
Libglade (http://www.jamesh.id.au/software/libglade/)
Libglade Reference Manual (http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/libglade/)

It says that libglade works with C, I'm working with C++... and frankly, I see the reference manual and still have no idea how to use libglade... some crash course you can facilitate?

[psychicdragon]

There are of course C++ bindings for libglade.

Here's the requisite page from the gtkmm tutorial: Chapter 23. Glade and libglademm (http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/tutorial/html/ch23.html).

OK, I must admit now that I'm a complete ignorant... My best guess is that I must place this:
Glib::RefPtr<Gnome::Glade::Xml> refXml = Gnome::Glade::Xml::create("xxxxx.glade"); either on Terminal or on some file... close?

[Elrohir]

setting aside libglade (which I still have no idea how it works), is there a way to fix the problem last mentioned?

[lnostdal]

start glade, design something, save it (don't "Build") as `hello-glade' ..

then type in the following code:



/*
gcc -std=c99 -Wall -g `pkg-config --libs --cflags gtk+-2.0` `pkg-config --libs --cflags libglade-2.0` hello-glade.c -o hello-glade
*/

#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <glade/glade.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
GladeXML *xml;
gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
xml = glade_xml_new("hello-glade.glade", NULL, NULL);
gtk_main();
return 0;
}


save it as hello-glade.c, then compile it as shown in the comment at the top, run it and up pops what you just designed.. this should work; see the reference manual of libglade for info on how to get "hold of" the widgets .. or just ask here and i'll help :)

(if you want specific help with the mess-that-is c++/gtkmm someone else will have to volunteer for that .. (or you could pay me a truckload of money .. lol))
