 GTK+ 2.11.4 (Development)
Section: Unix

 

Added: Sun, Jan 11th 1998 21:49 UTC (10 years, 9 months ago) Updated: Thu, Sep 25th 2008 12:52 UTC (12 days ago)


About:
GTK, which stands for the Gimp ToolKit, is a library for creating graphical user interfaces. It is designed to be small and efficient, but still flexible enough to allow the programmer freedom in the interfaces created. GTK provides some unique features over standard widget libraries.

Release focus: Minor bugfixes

Changes:
The memory management of GtkRecentManager was changed. The multipress input method now correctly handles control keys. Several further bugs were fixed.

[»] Where is gtk-config?
by Andrew E. Guly - Nov 16th 2003 10:58:45

I have installed (from sources) GTK-2.2.4 in /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0, but some programs can't find it. For exemple, while configuring XMMS:
checking for gtk-config... (cached) /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/bin/gtk-config
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.2... ./configure: /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/bin/gtk-config: No such file or directory
./configure: /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/bin/gtk-config: No such file or directory
./configure: /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/bin/gtk-config: No such file or directory
./configure: /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/bin/gtk-config: No such file or directory
./configure: /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/bin/gtk-config: No such file or directory
no
*** Could not run GTK test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK was incorrectly installed
*** or that you have moved GTK since it was installed. In the latter case, you
*** may want to edit the gtk-config script: /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/bin/gtk-config
configure: error: *** GTK+ >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first ***

What wrong? Where is gtk-config?
Sorry, if my English scare you...

    > What wrong? Where is gtk-config?

    gtk-config was part of gtk+-1.x. gtk+-2.x uses pkg-
    config instead. if your app wants gtk-config, it wants
    gtk+-1.x and its devel packages.

[»] Accessing menubar from keyboard
by Chaotic Thought - Dec 9th 2002 20:49:27

One thing I can't stand about GTK is that there is no apparant way to access the menubar (e.g. File Edit etc) if the programmer has not included shortcuts for this. (e.g. LinNeighborhood, VMWare, Everybuddy)

In Qt and Windows, this has always been possible. Tapping Alt opens the menubar no matter what in these GUI toolkits.

[»] Win32?
by Zak0 - May 14th 2002 22:23:18

What happened to the Win32 port of GTK+ ?? I was hoping to start development on a cross-platform application for Win32 and Linux using GTK+ for my GUI toolkit. But, I can't find a place to download the Win32 port ANYWHERE (www.gimp.org/win32 has been down for days). Anyone have a copy of it?

[»] Looks like the web page is down
by Sam Trenholme - Mar 8th 2002 18:52:46

Hello there,

I ryesterday have undergone the process of converting the encoding on my system for international characters from iso 8859-1 (which limits me to characters in English and western Europian languages) to UTF-8 (Unicode; which allows character encodings in just about every single written language that people have conceived in the history of mankind).

I noticed that GTK 1.2.x had no support for utf-8; when I set the encoding to UTF-8, GTK 1.2.x was still encoding directory names as if they were in iso 8859-1; and, in fact, eould crash when trying to enter a UTF-8 encoded directory name.

After doing a web search on UTF-8 and GTK, I found out that the development branch of GTK has UTF-8 support. Alas, www.gtk.org has been down all day, and, looking at the freshmeat record, there does not appear to be any development with GTK since last summer.

What is the current status of GTK and UTF-8 support?

- Sam

    [»] The web page is up again
    by Sam Trenholme - Mar 11th 2002 15:27:10

    OK, the gtk.org web page is up again, and there is a GTK 2.0 out there, which I am sure has decent UTF-8 support.

    I will be downloading this version of GTK shortly.

    - Sam

[»] sugestion
by Mariusz Gniazdowski - Dec 30th 2001 09:44:32

I love GTK. Butt many others think that it does not look good... Why? Because in most (all?) distributios default GTK theme is simple and not to attractive. Well we can change it to very beautyfull ones, butt many people dont know that. When they use other desktop than Gnome, they do not open Gnome-control center and do not know that this is possible. Thats all 8)

[»] Not so fast!
by Felipe Bergo - Feb 17th 2000 00:44:13

Yes, GTK+ is great and the development is going at good speed, but this is 1.2.7, not 1.2.27 (as appeared in the news page).

[»] Can't get programs to recognize GTK+-1.2.0
by dr0z - Apr 23rd 1999 07:29:12

I resently d/l the Enlightenment WM v0.15.5 and I wanted the e-conf program, but it needs gnome-libs so i d/l that when I tried to compile it, it said that i needed gtk+-1.2.0, which i have. It gave me an error about the libraries not matching the header files. Headers= v1.0.2 and Libraries=v1.2.0 What should I do to resolve the problem? Thanks

    a couple of things :
    the tarballs generally install to /usr/local/
    whereas (for example) redhat installs stuff under
    /usr. configure is probably still looking at the
    one in /usr.

    to fix this: rm /usr/bin/gtk-config
    make sure /usr/local/bin is on your
    path
    and /usr/local/lib is in
    /etc/ld.so.conf

    before running configure you should be able to
    type `gtk-config --version` and it should return
    with the version number you just installed.

    alternately, you can reinstall the gtk pacakges
    and glib under /usr by doing
    'configure --prefix=/usr' but you have to
    remember to do that for all the pacakges and it
    seems like most packages want to go under /usr/local/.

    hope it helps

      Hi Rob, you seem to know what you're doing so I'm hoping you can help me out. I've installed gtk+-2.2.4 from source and removed my old gtk-config beforehand, but now I can't find gtk-config anywhere on my system. Have I done something wrong? I used all the default options when installing
      i.e ./configure
      make
      su
      make install

      and gtk was installed in /usr/local

      no sign of gtk-config though!

      I'm tearing my hair out over this one! (I'm trying to get gimp2.0pre2 installed without much success!)

        the directions above are outdated wrt gtk2.0
        which now uses pkg-config (a generalization of gtk-config). you therefore don't need to mess with
        the gtk-config stuff.

        your problem probably still has to do with the /usr vs /usr/local/ business. you might want to install gtk (et.al.) with 'configure --prefix=/usr' or you might want to mess with your pkg-config path...perhaps 'export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig'

        good luck.
