is gtk 1.2.10 newer than 1.2.3?

[snowsquirrel]

configure fails like this:

Code: Select all

checking for GTK+ version... 
checking for pkg-config... no
checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** A new enough version of pkg-config was not found.
*** See http://pkgconfig.sourceforge.net
configure: error:
Please check that gtk-config is in path, the directory
where GTK+ libraries are installed (returned by
'gtk-config --libs' command) is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or
equivalent variable and GTK+ is version 1.2.3 or above.

when I issue the command gtk-config --version I get 1.2.10. Isn't that newer than 1.2.3?

thanks,

I had the same problem. Try "apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev". Yoy get development libraries for GTK2.

[edit]
Yoy maybe need libwxgtk2.5.3 too.

I was trying to build with gtk 1.2 as most of our machines here have it already installed.

We are in a Solaris environment, so apt-get is not really an option.

Code: Select all

./configure --with-gtk --disable-gtk2

did the trick, though I don't really know why it is needed.

Well, AFAIK, wxWidgets 2.5.3 defaults to using GTK2, so that is why you need to configure it to use gtk1.x.x... (someone correct me pls if I'm wrong)

[snowsquirrel]

Oh, I thought the point of a configure script was to detect what you had.

Ever since 2.5.3 it default to gtk+-2.x.
Before that you had to do --enable-gtk2 to get it to work with gtk2, not gtk1. Now you have to do --disable-gtk2 to get it to be using gtk1.
I highly suggest using gtk2, even under 2.5.3, just requires a --enable-gtk2 then.
gtk-config is for gtk1, these days packages use pkg-config.
For example you can find out your gtk2 version with

Code: Select all

pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0

*** A new enough version of pkg-config was not found.

Seems you don't have a new enough pkg-config, and I suspect you don't have the dev packages of gtk+-2.x either so that you could build wxGTK yourself and not get it from the package of your distribution.
