Scripts for building an interface
Hi, I am looking for tools/scripts which would enable me to put a lot of functions into dialogboxes in a GTK-based interface. I am currently converting our software from an old Motif-based interface into a GTK-based interface and one of the jobs to be done is to put a lot of functions into the menu and to create dialogboxes for setting arguments for all the C-functions. As an example I would like to be able to start with int myfunc( int a, double b, char * c) and buld a dialogbox from this function protototype in t the C-file into a dialogbox. Additional tools to define the limits for the arguments would be welcome too.

Re: Question about include paths
Carl B. Constantine [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'm developing a GTK+ 2 app with Anjuta. For the most part, the glade generated files include gnome.h. I have one file where all I really want/need is gtk.h. The problem comes with the fact that I have both gtk 1.2 and gtk 2 installed on my system. So a locate gtk.h comes up thus: (duckwing@Mallard:src)$ locate gtk.h /usr/share/doc/texmf/help/Catalogue/entries/dvgtk.html /usr/share/doc/ebook-dev-ggad/html/cha-gtk.html /usr/share/doc/libgtk2.0-doc/gtk/gtk.html /usr/share/gimp/1.2/help/C/dialogs/color_selectors/gtk.html /usr/share/devhelp/books/gtk-1.2/gtk.html /usr/include/gtk-1.2/gtk/gtk.h /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h So how should I include gtk.h? should it be: a) #include gtk/gtk.h b) #include gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h c) #include gtk.h ? similarly, gnome.h actually has the first one. should it be changed maybe if I want to use gtk2? Note: I do not have gnome2 installed on this particular system. I do have it installed on my laptop though (which is running Gentoo). any help is appreciated. You always need to use the compiler flags from: GTK+-1.2: gtk-config --cflags GTK+-2.0: pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 Once you do that, you can always use gtk/gtk.h. and have it work appropriately.

Cannot find a rule to create target all-local from dependencies
Trying to install xfce on AIX, which requires atk, glib, pango, gtk, etc. make (for all of them) complains about all-local missing I found a reference to this in the archives, and the solution then was to use make -k to continue building on Solaris 2.8. This would resolve out of order dependencies. Unfortunately, it's not working for me. Anybody know what's going on? I checked the Makefile, and sure enough, there isn't an all-local.

Re: Nary trees

hi,
i'd like to use a structure similar to glib's Nary tree, but with the difference
that many parent
nodes can share one or several children nodes.
any clue?
This is going to be rather difficult.
Unless you enforce a policy that only sibling-nodes can share child
nodes, you are going to have a lot of trouble. Even then, any trivial
operation on a child node (e.g., remove from tree) will require
searching over the full set of parent-siblings and checking the child
pointers against the full set of siblings for the child-node.
Don't do it.
If a fellow developer at work suggested such a data-storage approach, I
would require a tone of convincing that this was a reasonable thing to do.
If you do, I strongly suggest that you do not base it off of the current
glib n-ary tree implimentation. At a minimum, I would enforce a policy
that a node has a numbered depth N, that all children are depth N+1 and
parents are N-1. This may seem obvious, but in a multi-parent scenario
it would be easy to violate if moving a set of nodes within the tree.
A suggested structure:
struct eb_manymany {
uint node_level;
uint num_parents;
uint num_par_max;
struct eb_manymany **par_ptr_array;
uint num_children;
uint num_child_max;
struct eb_manymany **chd_ptr_array;
gpointer data;
}
That lets you reference count the parents and children, so that, for
example, when removing a node you can go to all the parents and remove
that child from their list of children.
The _max allows dynamix allocation of the pointer arrays, if you
previously allocated space for 12 children and need a 13th, you can
reallocate that array up to size 24 or somthing, with 13 places occupied.
If the above doesn't make sense after a few readings, you're not ready
to tackle this. I have done a two-level parent-child that was
many-to-many, where entities were by definitions either parents or
children, and by the time I had the appropriate API and error checking
all in place it was very cumersome.
For example, what policy do you generically implement if a the last
parent of a node is freed? In my application, that meant that the child
was now a discard and could be freed, but that may or may not be
appropriate for a generic storage library. Specify a calllback for the
child node in that situation, defaulting to freeing? Complexity!
If you do get it working as infinite level many-to-many, please post the
code. :)

Re: GTK+2.0.6 problem with Freetype
Hi,
You should look at the config.log file to see the exact error messages
that were generated. The most likely possibility is that the
freetype-config from /usr/local/bin was being used, but the linker
found the libraries in /usr/X11R6/lib ... you may well simply
want to delete (make a backup first):
/usr/X11R6/bin/freetype-config
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.so*
I've done that, same situation happens. Now:
pdestroy@localhost:~/gnome-2.0.2rc1/gtk+-2.0.6$ which freetype-config
/usr/local/bin/freetype-config
pdestroy@localhost:~/gnome-2.0.2rc1/gtk+-2.0.6$ freetype-config --version
9.1.3
I'm compiling it with gcc2.95.3, can that be the situation?

Weird GtkEntry behavior in GTK 1.2.10
All, I am seeing a very strange behaviour with a GtkEntry widget. The application had previously been working normally; well enough that I had not done any maintenance on it in months. During that time, the compiler on the Solaris box was upgraded from gcc 2.95.x to gcc 3.2, without my knowledge. I made a minor code change, rebuilt my application, and discovered that the GtkEntry widget was not working properly. It was swallowing certain characters. In some cases, the n was never displayed, but repeated button presses would result in an n being shown. The s character was even stranger, with the keystroke sometimes working, sometimes producing no visible effect, and with sometimes a Beta characer being shown instead. Investigating, I found aout about the gcc change. I then rebuilt glib, gtk, and gtkextra with no apparent errors, and then rebuilt my application. The exact same results occurred. I tried having another user run the application, and he observed the same effect. Any ideas? Eric Monsler ___ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
