I wish to compile gtk "locally" I have my own debug version to which I can link my own test apps. I want this version to be contains debug ingo. I do not, however, wish to upgrade my desktop to this version of gtk. Is this possible. I am a little confused between ldconfig and ld_flags and which to use without upsetting my system. e.g cd src/glib ./configure --enable-debug=yes prefix=/home/hadron/src make make install Works fine : local version of glib. Now I prepare atk: cd src/atk ./configure --enable-debug=yes prefix=/home/hadron/src It complains that the version found was less than that of the one needed. So I add "/home/hadron/src/lib/pkgconfig" to my pkg_config_path: PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/home/shamrock/src/lib/pkgconfig The problem is not that pkg_config reports the higher version is there but the one found is the old one. One can expect this since the shared libaries I have locally are not on the path. How do I fix this properly? It seems to me that if I edit /etc/ld.so.conf and run "sudo ldconfig" then I will update the system versions too! How to tell my "test program" to use my shared libraries without changing the system? I'm sure it is staring me in the face, but I can not see the wood for the trees at the moment. Thank you for any advice. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Help-with-%22local%22-GTK-debug-version-needed.-tf2876504.html#a8039716 Sent from the Gtk+ - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
