If you want a newer copy of a system library you need to install it and everything it needs to a separate prefix. I usually build to a directory in my home area and use environment variables to point the programs that need the new stuff to this area rather than the system one.

Hopefully if I do this then the pkg-config call that's used to set my compile flags and library directories will get me all the right stuff? Yes this is the way to go. Never overwrite your system packages. Even though GTK+ is supposed to be binary compatible between minor versions, you could and probably would break things. Even if you didn't, the next time you do a yum update, if there are any GTK+ updates, they will overwrite your custom changes. So yes. When installing GTK+ from source, always install to a non-system prefix (/usr/local, or /opt) and use environment variables to build against it and run programs. A bit of a pain, true, but less pain than breaking your system, like the other poster on this list did when he removed GTK2 in an attempt to get GTK3 to compile and install on his ubuntu box! Completely broke his OS and he will probably have to re-install. ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

Hi John, Nothing odd has happened yet, I'm keeping my fingers crossed! If anything does I'll probably just restore the original CentOS glib/gdk-pixbuf packages before doing anything more drastic. It's only a VM on my laptop so at least no one else will suffer from my stupidity (except the readers of this list, of course ;- ).

Re: Compiling for Win XP SP1
Hi Lucas, II am writing GTK+2.16 applications under Win XP2. They are working without issues on very old laptops with Win 2000. So I think you should investigate your instalation file set. May be it does not contain some necessary libs. Best regards, Igor 2012/3/4, Lucas Levrel llev...@yahoo.fr: Hi, Thanks for your answer.

Re: memory leak on windows
2012/3/2, Gaetano Guerriero gaetano.guerri...@spacespa.it:
Greetings,
this code leaks memory on Windows XP until the program crashes after some
minutes:
===
#include gtk/gtk.h
static gboolean progressbar_pulse(gpointer data) {
gtk_progress_bar_pulse(GTK_PROGRESS_BAR(data));
return TRUE;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
GtkWidget *window, *progressbar;
gtk_init(argc, argv);
window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
progressbar = gtk_progress_bar_new();
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), progressbar);
gtk_widget_show_all(window);
g_timeout_add(50, progressbar_pulse, progressbar);
gtk_main();
return 0;
}
===
The error after the crash:
==

I'm using all-in-on bundle for windows 2.24.10-20120208_win32 from gtk.org
website, and I compile with MinGW.
Any suggestions ?

Hi Gaetano,
you are right - this application steals memory.
I compiled it by mingw g++ with gtk+-bundle_2.24.10-20120208_win32.zip.
About 8 kByte per second for WinXP.
Best regards,
Igor
