Imagination, a simple and lightweight DVD slideshow

[colossus73]

I just downloaded the source for 2.0 and I'm trying to compile it but I'm running into an error on configure. I'm using 9.10 beta.

checking for PACKAGE... configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.14.0 gthread-2.0) were not met:

No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
No package 'gthread-2.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables PACKAGE_CFLAGS
and PACKAGE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I see /usr/lib/gthread-2.0.so.0 and /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/ which I'm pretty sure is the standard location, so I'm not sure what to do to fix the error.

Hi,

you have to install the development packages of gtk and also sox. They are not installed by default:

libgtk2.0-dev
libsox-dev

Thanks so much. After installing those packages, configure finished successfully.

Ran into another problem though when compiling.

I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/onechunk.xsl
warning: failed to load external entity "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/onechunk.xsl"

I'm not sure what the problem is since I can bring up the xsl file on docbook.sourceforge.net in a browser. Pretty much got the same thing on make install. Since I think this is only dealing with the documentation, it doesn't effect the application. I am able to start the application, so it appears to be working.

With the help of this thread, I could install Imagination. So thanks for that.

Now if I use the program, the dropdown to choose a transition is empty. The only entry is "none". Is there some extra step needed?

Same thing happened to me when I compiled and installed 2.1. I went back to 2.0 and the transition drop down was repopulated. Not sure why they were missing in 2.1.

Sorry my mistake. I forgot to change line 23 in src/support.c from this:

#define PLUGINS_INSTALLED 0

to this:

#define PLUGINS_INSTALLED 1

Please do it and recompile; you will see the transitions.

Thx sooo much. Besides some minor install problems which were addressed in the previous posts it works wonderfully.
Highly recommended for everyone who likes software that works "out of the box."

I have tried everything else with mixed results. Imagination is perfect - just what I have been looking for. Now - to get it included into Ubuntu!
