[gtkada] gtkada Digest, Vol 74, Issue 5

[Rob Groen]

Hello,

Recently I started using Ubuntu, now using 9.10, and can't get GtkAda 
installed

The steps I have taken:

- downloaded the 2009 GPL GPS en en GtkAda for from the Libre site 
(x86-Linux)
- using synaptic package manager I installed libgtk2.0-dev
- unpacked gtk+-2.14.5-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tgz in <mydir>
- unpacked GtkAda-gpl-2.14.0.tgz in a temp dir and did 
<tempdir>/configure --prefix=<mydir>
- this resulted in errors stating that libpng12.pc could not be found 
(although this is available in /usr/lib/pkgconfig, but not in 
<mydir>/lib/pkg-config)

If I do NOT unpack gtk+-2.14.5-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tgz, than the 
./configure finished Ok, but the subsequent "$ make" resulted in errors 
when it got to:
"make -C gtkextra

make[1]: *** [gtkextra] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/home/rob/Downloads/unpack/gtkada/GtkAda-2.14.0/src'
make: *** [src] Error 2

I have tried setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH so that it includes both the 
pkgconfig from the <midir>/lib/pkg-config and /usr/lib/pkgconfig, but 
then a new error appears:

"Package 'pthread-stubs', required by 'XCB', not found";

so, added "/usr/share/pkgconfig" to PKG_CONFIG_PATH. No the result is:

*** 'gtk-config --version' returned 2.14.5, but GTK+ (2.18.3)

I don't know what the "right" version  is, so I don't know if I must 
modify /etc/ld.so.conf or not.
Now I am stuck. What am I missing when building GtkAda on Linux?

Regards
Rob
