How to install and make use of gtk and glade in windows
I use these links to install gtk, glade, Cygwin, Python and ghc(for gcc compiler)
GTK:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binar...n32/gtk+/2.14/
GLADE:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=98754
CYGWIN:
http://www.cygwin.com
PYTHON: (Python 2.5.2 Windows installer)
http://python.org/download/
GHC for GCC:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_661.html
I installed these softwares in
“C:\”
Like
C:\gtk
C:\glade
C:\cygwin
C:\Python25
C:\ghc
And the environment variables:
My Computer->Properties(right mouse button click)->Advanced->Environment Variables (button )->System Variables
GTK_BASEPATH->C:\GTK
INCLUDE->C:\GTK\INCLUDE;C:\GTK\INCLUDE\GTK-2.0;C:\GTK\INCLUDE\GLIB-2.0;C:\GTK\INCLUDE\PANGO-1.0;C:\GTK\INCLUDE\CAIRO;C:\GTK\INCLUDE\ATK-1.0;C:\GTK\INCLUDE\GTKGLEXT-1.0;C:\GTK\LIB\GTK-2.0\INCLUDE;C:\GTK\LIB\GLIB-2.0\INCLUDE;C:\GTK\LIB\GTKGLEXT-1.0\INCLUDE;C:\GTK\INCLUDE\LIBGLADE-2.0;C:\GTK\INCLUDE\LIBXML2
LIB->C:\GTK\LIB
Path->%GTK_BASEPATH%\bin; C:\cygwin\bin; C:\Python25
PKG_CONFIG_PATH->C:\GTK\lib\pkgconfig
GHC_BASEPATH->C:\ghc
GLADE_BASEPATH->C:\glade
And click Ok button.
I am using command prompt.
Start->Run…->cmd
And type these to check it is working or not
pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0
if it is shows like this( for example, No worries)
-mms-bitfields -IC:/gtk/include/gtk-2.0 -IC:/gtk/lib/gtk-2.0/include -IC:/gtk/in
clude/atk-1.0 -IC:/gtk/include/cairo -IC:/gtk/include/pango-1.0 -IC:/gtk/include
/glib-2.0 -IC:/gtk/lib/glib-2.0/include -IC:/gtk/include/freetype2 -IC:/gtk/incl
Ude
Else
Package pixman-1 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pixman-1.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'pixman-1', required by 'cairo', not found
Then We have to download
pixman-1.pc
LINK:
http://cairographics.org/releases/pixman-0.11.2.tar.gz
download the file and extract it.
Open the
Cygwin command prompt.
Change the directory(
“cd folderpath” ) to
“pixman-0.11.2” folder
Type
“ls”
We can find “configure”
Type
“./configure”
It will generate
“pixman-1.pc” file
Copy or Repalce this file to
“C:\gtk\lib\pkgconfig”.
Open the command prompt and type these
pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0 > all.txt
some text will store in the “all.txt”
and again we have to declare environment variables.
like this
GTK_COMPILE->-mms-bitfields -IC:/gtk/include/gtk-2.0 -IC:/gtk/lib/gtk-2.0/include -IC:/gtk/include/atk-1.0 -IC:/gtk/include/cairo -IC:/gtk/include/pango-1.0 -IC:/gtk/include/glib-2.0 -IC:/gtk/lib/glib-2.0/include -IC:/gtk/include/freetype2 -IC:/gtk/include -LC:/gtk/lib -lgtk-win32-2.0 -lgdk-win32-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgio-2.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lcairo -lpangoft2-1.0 -lpangowin32-1.0 -lgdi32 -lfreetype -lz -lfontconfig -lpango-1.0 -lm -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 –lintl
This all for “GTK”.
Finally the command to compile gtk program is
gcc -o output.exe input.c %GTK_COMPILE%
or
gcc –g –Wall -o output.exe input.c %GTK_COMPILE%
Open the command prompt and type these
pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0 libglade-2.0 > allover.txt
some text will store in the “allover.txt”
and again we have to declare environment variables.
like this
GLADE_COMPILE-> -mms-bitfields -IC:/gtk/include/gtk-2.0 -IC:/gtk/lib/gtk-2.0/include -IC:/gtk/include/atk-1.0 -IC:/gtk/include/cairo -IC:/gtk/include/pango-1.0 -IC:/gtk/include/glib-2.0 -IC:/gtk/lib/glib-2.0/include -IC:/gtk/include/freetype2 -IC:/gtk/include -IC:/gtk/include/libglade-2.0 -IC:/gtk/include/libxml2 -LC:/gtk/lib -lglade-2.0 -lgtk-win32-2.0 -lxml2 -lgdk-win32-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgio-2.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lcairo -lpangoft2-1.0 -lpangowin32-1.0 -lgdi32 -lfreetype -lz -lfontconfig -lpango-1.0 -lm -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl
This all for “GLADE”.
Finally the command to compile glade tool source code is
gcc -o output.exe input.c input1.c input2.c % GLADE _COMPILE%
or
gcc –g –Wall -o output.exe input.c input1.c input2.c % GLADE _COMPILE%
conversion of “.glade” file to “.xml” file
python should be installed and environment variable should be set.
For example you had created a
“example.glade” in
“C:\Example” folder
then open the command prompt change the directory in to
“C:\Example” and type this
cd “C:\Example” (press ENTER key)
and type
python "C:\gtk\bin\gtk-builder-convert" example.glade example.xml
now it will converted in to
“.xml” format.
