Configure fails - gtk2 not found (Ubuntu 12.04 with gtk3)

--- Quote ---Support for GTK+ 3 is available starting with wxWidgets 2.9.4, use configure option –with-gtk=3 to enable it. It is still under development and may have significant bugs or missing features, and should be considered experimental.

Last I know CB was not stable with wxWidgets 2.9; but, that was about 6 months ago.

However If somebody could give me a hint I would be grateful and may also be useful for users of the popular ubuntu os.

As far as I know gtk2 and gtk3 are meant to be installed together. One is not a replacement for the other.


--- Quote from: philcal on April 13, 2013, 06:37:37 am ---Why am I trying to compile when I already have it installed? Simply the package I used to install did not have the extended plugins for which I understand need to be compiled in. On the
face of it this appears to be  not a very flexible arrangement. Much better to have a compiled API in which a non compiled plugin can access -or am I missing something??

Have you tried to install the codeblocks-contrib package?


--- Quote from: philcal on April 13, 2013, 06:37:37 am ---Using the deb package version I have noticed that the path selection dialog box for selecting include/tool locations is broken for me.  A directory can be searched OK but the selection is not returned in the dialog properly, only part of a path "/home/x" in my case. I suspect its a system interface issue and not a codeblocks one but given my troubles above may be related. My work around was simply pasting in the paths either in the dialog or directly editing the cbp file.

This is a wxgtk bug. Report this to your distro maintainers, so they can patch it.

Jenna:
I just installed a plain xubuntu 12,10 on a virtual machine.
Buiding and installing C::B from sources was straight-forward as on almost all linux distros.
No nuild- or runtime-error.

And it's of course build against gtk2.
Neither wxWidgets 2.8 nor C::B can be build against gtk3 at the moment.
And even wxWidgets trunk does not fully support gtk3.

Thanks Guys

Understood now, but it did my head in.

My mistake  sorry- must of missed installing the contrib deb   of those ~21 debs  I manually installed (since discovered dpkg -i *.deb rather than double clicking)     and yes I didn't realise the significance, since every thing else other than plugins was  working OK


Now onto my real aim to get embedded arm compiling going.... to another CB forum...
