Thread: Undefined reference when building gtk applications

That was the case. I changed it to the 2.6.12, because configure's gtk detection test looks a bit more organized for my personal taste.

Anyway, I finally had enough time to give a good look in configure's gtk detection test and found at least one "if" clause that is not evaluating as true, and for me it looks like it should:

Code:

if $PKG_CONFIG --atleast-version $min_gtk_version $pkg_config_args;

this should evaluate as true I believe. However, it is clearly not doing so. The values of the variables on the line all seems correct to me:

Code:

$PKG_CONFIG

evaluates to:

Code:

/usr/bin/pkg-config

Code:

$pkg_config_args

evaluates to:

Code:

gtk+-2.0 gthread-2.0

and

Code:

$min_gtk_version:

evaluates to:

Code:

2.12.5

as I am passing

Code:

/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gtk+-2.24.20/lib/pkgconfig/

to the

Code:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH

env variable, the if clause should be evaluating to true, isn't?
