I just isntalled breezy and I want to start developing under gnome again, I was wondering what packages I need to download, I am working with anjuta and what to develop a gtk based application.

I also want to start developing a gaim plugin.

Cheers for any help you can give me, the vast majority of my development work has been with python or java under windows.

It depends on what language you're going to be developing in really.

If you want to continue using Python, you can start writing GTK apps without installing any additional packages. A lot of the programs that make up the Ubuntu desktop are written in Python & PyGTK. You'll probably want glade-2 so that you can design your GUI's though.

If you want to start coding in C/C++ in Anjuta, you'll need build-essential, libgtk2.0-dev, glade-2, libglade2-dev.

For apps I am writing from scratch I will use python, for plugins I am writing (for gaim) I need to write them in c, although its possible to write them in python, but the API is not as extensive.

I'm at work now (win00bs), but when I went to compile a program I think I got an error because it couldnt find gnome.h?

Would this be included in one of the packages you lsited? Do I have to do anything after I downloaded them?
