Hello - I am a newcomer to linux (mandrake) and I am coding in C++. I am trying to get a comfortable setup together with a nice ide (anjuta) and a gui library (wxWindows using gtk). It is proving very tiresome. So far I have gathered that to get anjuta working and wxWindows I need recent versions of gtk (2.4.0). To install this however I need a recent version of Pango(whatever that is). To install Pango I need a recent versio of GLib (whatever that is).
So I am trying to install GLib. So I download it, unzip it and tar it so that I have a glib-2.4.0 directory. I go inside it and do the usual:
/configure make make install (as root)
And all is well. Only I notice that in /usr/include there remains an old directory called glib-2.0 and no newer 2.4.0 one.
Now when I do the same with Pango the configure script tells me it finds only an old version of glib. I don't know how it works that out. So either the 2.4.0 hasn't installed or its presence is not felt by pango. The pango configure script suggests playing around with PKG_CONFIG (an apparently empty variable) to help pango find the version...
At this point I do no know what to do, I have read and reread all the docs and looked at the configure script.
Can someone help please as it is driving me mad - either directly or can you recommend somewhere on the web where that people love to help with problems like this?
Sounds to me like it's configured to default to installing in /usr/local, glib upgrades should also not be taken lightly, things tend to break :)
You'll probably find that the configure script for Pango will take a path to the glib libraries and headers, so you *might* be able to get away with that.
Cheers,
