wont bloddy compile

hello

Im trying to learn gui programming through GTK, and found something called easy GTK, which is a GTK library that is, easy.
Any way here's what spews out of my terminal.

Code: Select all

dan@dans-computer:~/easygtk$ ./configure

I just did a little research for ya. It appears that "magick.h" is part of the ImageMagick-devel package. However, the ImageMagick-devel included with Red Hat 8.0 seems to be missing many of the headers. It's in the ImageMagick-devel for Red Hat 7.3 and below and it's also in the ImageMagick-devel for the Rawhide version (development).

So I would suggest grabbing the Rawhide version "ImageMagick" and "ImageMagick-devel" and see if that solves the problem. Of course this assumes you are running Red Hat 8.0. If you are not just search for the ImageMagick-devel equiv for your distro. [edit]I now see this in the Slackware section (I'm quick) so again, it's part of ImageMagick, you're on your own finding the slackware packages unless someone else here can help[/edit].

err well i use slack, so what do you suggest i look for?

I just noticed that, reread my previous message. I was editing it while you were posting...

This is the website I think.

There does not appear a slack specific binary. However there is source.

Heh heh, I just had to install ImageMagick from source on my Red Hat 7.0 server because I needed the latest version for a php based photo gallery. When I installed from source it put the magick.h in the /usr/local/include/magick directory. Hopefully your configure will pick up on that.

Also, I lied about the ImageMagick that comes with Red Hat 8.0. I don't know what I was looking at but it most certainly does include "magick.h" in /usr/include/magick. Time for a break!

[Doogee]

well it worked sortof, it no longer gave me an error that it cant find magick.h bu i think this version is too new for easy gtk

so now what i want to know is what are some good gui programming libs? gtk is stupid its like 3 pages just to write hello world on a click button, i tried tkinter/python but thats not ver flexible and the widgets look crap. QT test program i got of a website didnt want to compile.

Suggestions?

Most GUI apps do require a lot of source just for the basics. Tools like kdevelop will generate most of the boring stuff for you. Kdevelop can create KDE and QT apps.
