> If you mean by "broad" a very basic knowledge Yes, sorry. That's indeed what I meant. (Not a native speaker...) Reading http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/broad I guess I meant meaning 3b or 8 but it could also be interpreted as meaning 2. > 2. from http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/ get > a. Gtk+ 2.12.9 Development Environment Revision 2 I don't want to sound like this would be some competition, but I do think it is better to use the "official" GTK+ stack binaries on ftp.gnome.org in general. But on the other hand I don't use Glade myself, and maybe indeed it is better to use what gladewin32 provides if you are using Glade... Be aware though that at times the gladewin32 site has distributed outdated stuff compared to what's on ftp.gnome.org. > 3. from http://cairographics.org/releases/ get pixman-0.10.0.tar.gz > without pixman, > $ pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0 > gives this error > Package pixman-1 was not found in the pkg-config search path. If you do have a cairo.pc that refers to pixman-1, then just edit out the pixman-1 from the .pc file. (The cairo.pc in the latest cairo-dev package on ftp.gnome.org doesn't refer to pixman-1, it is edited out as part of the packaging process. There is absolutely no need for pixman headers or libraries when building cairo-using software against a shared cairo library.) (If a static cairo library was used the situation would be different.) I won't comment on the Glade and gtkmm specific issues as I don't use either. --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
