I am kinda tired of the Fireflop crashes, thought I'd try a newer gtk2.

gtk+-2.12.12
Code:
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.13.5... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the

Oh goody ...
Code:
urchin 13% versions neko_glib
I = Installed, R = Removed
Name                 Date        Description
I  neko_glib            06/04/2013  glib-2.26.1 - Core libraries for GTK+ and GNOME

Looks like in Fossyland 13 is bigger than 26 ... sigh
Code:
./configure  --disable-glibtest  --prefix=/usr/nekoware

disable glib test, shouldn't check, right ? Not exactly ...
Code:
...

wtf ?

wtf is this with the -pthread ? I didn't put it there, it's not in configure, it's not in any of the related scripts I can find, it just appears out of nowhere and MIPSPro does not like it ...

Check your $PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable, maybe your whole pkg-config installation, and specifically the glib*.pc and pango*.pc files in /usr/nekoware/lib/pkgconfig (or any other pkgconfig directories you might have on your system). It's quite likely that the configure script is using pkg-config to find Glib and Pango and maybe picking up the wrong one. It's also probably one of their *.pc files that is adding -pthread to CFLAGS.

I've taken a look at the GTK source (especially its configure script), and I'd be willing to bet that the -pthread flag is coming from pkg-config, and that it in turn is causing the failure to detect the correct version of Glib. The test compile fails because of the -pthread, but the configure script mis-interprets that failure to compile as a version mis-match. That would also explain why configure found the library when you passed --disable-glibtest. And since Pango requires Glib, that erroneous -pthread flag caused the Pango tests to fail (which were again mis-interpreted by configure to mean that you don't have Pango).

If you can't find and edit the offending *.pc file, you can set BASE_DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS and BASE_DEPENDENCIES_LIBS to point to Nekoware instead. That'll cause the configure script to bypass pkg-config entirely. Note that it looks like you'll need to manually specify all the required libraries in that case (i.e., "-L/usr/nekoware/lib -lpango-1.0 -lglib-2.0 ..."), not just the directory.

Based on what I see in glib-2.0.pc on my Octane, I think you should (maybe) have -lpthread in your Libs line instead of just -pthread.

From the GTK+ faq:

Code:
GTK+ is a large package that is dependent on a number of other tools and libraries. It is recommended that you use precompiled binary packages for your system if possible.

hamei will probably be along shortly but until then, I'll say it for him: Fuck you guys! :evil:

Also from the faq:
Code:
you will also need to have installed the tools and libraries that GTK+ depends upon. These are listed below in the order in which they need to be installed (edited for brevity):

pkg-config
GNU make
JPEG, PNG and TIFF image libraries
FreeType
fontconfig
GNU libiconv library (if your system doesn't have iconv())
GNU gettext (if your system doesn't have gettext())
GLib
Pango
ATK
GTK+
Circular dependency in the list left unedited... :lol:

Thanks, vish. Couldn't have said it better myself ... gtk2 is like a nice hot bath in a tub full of shit.

jp, thanks much, in the various pkg-config files we had
Code:
urchin 1# nedit gmodule.pc
urchin 2# nedit gmodule-2.0.pc
urchin 3# nedit gmodule-export-2.0.pc
urchin 4# nedit gmodule-no-export-2.0.pc
urchin 5# nedit gthread-2.0.pc
urchin 6# nedit gmodule-2.0.pc
urchin 7# nedit gmodule-export-2.0.pc
urchin 8# nedit gmodule-no-export-2.0.pc
urchin 9# nedit gthread.pc
urchin 10# nedit gthread-2.0.pc

Every one of them had a wrong -pthread flag. Doesn't work with MIPSPro.

Soooo ... anyhoo I took a chance and added Xinput (beat me some more ! it feels so good !), deleted the cups ( spit ) system and did ./configure --disable-cups --enable-debug=no --with-xinput=yes --prefix=/usr/nekoware

Made it through. Built Makefiles. We're on our way ... (thanks jp)

Ah, yes. Sadly, I've seen that one before, too. Edit /usr/nekoware/bin/glib-mkenums to change the first ( shebang ) line from:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env perl -w
to:
Code:
#!/usr/nekoware/bin/perl -w
It has the effect of making Glib depend on neko_perl, but it'll work.

I don't think IRIX can handle more than one argument in a shebang line, thus it's interpreting "perl -w" as a single argument to pass to /usr/bin/env. Hence its complaint about "perl -w" not existing. It should be looking for "perl" and passing "-w" as an argument to that, but it's not. (Not that you care about the reason behind the change.... I'm just rambling.)

I enjoy a good challenge every now and then; that's what makes me determined to get things working. Besides, hamei's first problem was actually autoconf making too many (unfounded) assumptions. And the second was also unrelated to GTK itself. The real "horrorshow" hasn't even begun yet! :!:

Yes but autoconf is only as good as the configure.in that the software's build guys write. If you've got a Really Great Toolkit but can't be bothered to provide a build environment that works, and you say things like (I'm paraphrasing) "aw fuck it let's let the distribution packagers figure out how to compile it," then (at the risk of repeating myself) I say fuck you guys! :evil:

It has the effect of making Glib depend on neko_perl, but it'll work.

neko_perl is fine by me, it's going to be a lot newer than SGI perl for sure !

That worked, by the way :D

No, thank you, the reason is more important than a recipe. I'll probaly forget but at least the information is here so others can use it in the future. In fact, that's one good reason to come here and make an ass of myself - these threads should help other people (if anyone ever bothers to make more Irix software ...) It's not magic and more people should be doing this. A big thanks to all the people who understand programming and are willing to take the time to help us buffoons out :D

I'm guessing that the monotonic clock is a gnu invention ?

(btw, the earlier corrections in this thread are a tremendous help in building the gtk2 family. I wonder if a wiki section describing solutions people have found for building Irix apps would be a nice addition ? Search is okay but our info is so spread out ... )

It is defined by POSIX, but the implementation is optional .

Quote:
If the Monotonic Clock option is supported, all implementations shall support a clock_id of CLOCK_MONOTONIC defined in <time.h>. This clock represents the monotonic clock for the system. For this clock, the value returned by clock_gettime() represents the amount of time (in seconds and nanoseconds) since an unspecified point in the past (for example, system start-up time, or the Epoch). This point does not change after system start-up time.


_SC_MONOTONIC_CLOCK is to check at runtime whether CLOCK_MONOTONIC exists using sysconf(). It is POSIX, 2003 . IRIX is POSIX anno 1995 . The check should simply return FALSE if _SC_MONOTONIC_CLOCK is undefined because in that case CLOCK_MONOTONIC isn't going to be available.

This should make the code compile and make sysconf() return false:
Code:
#ifndef _SC_MONOTONIC_CLOCK
#define _SC_MONOTONIC_CLOCK -1
#endif


CLOCK_MONOTONIC is 'good enough' to measure time increments rather than the absolute time. IRIX has a similar clock: CLOCK_SGI_CYCLE. If the code really needs a cycle timer you can cook up replacement code using CLOCK_SGI_CYCLE.

It seems like it shouldn't even be checking this ...
gmain.c
Code:
#ifdef HAVE_MONOTONIC_CLOCK
/* We have to check if we actually have monotonic clock support.
*
* There is no thread safety issue here since there is no harm if we
* check twice.
*/
{
static gboolean checked;

if G_UNLIKELY (!checked)
{
if (sysconf (_SC_MONOTONIC_CLOCK) >= 0)
clockid = CLOCK_MONOTONIC;
checked = TRUE;
}
}
#endif

configure
Code:
cc-1020 cc: ERROR File = gmain.c, Line = 2064
The identifier "CLOCK_MONOTONIC" is undefined.

clockid = CLOCK_MONOTONIC;

Let me go see if I can butcher this some more .... thanks, J.

But there are a few in there that look suspiciously like gtk2 conspirators ... No idea if this will really fix my crashes but so far so good. The message screens are even goofier than before and the tab-closing x'es look like hell but I can live with that.


Sorry my bad! I'm used to the mozilla-dot-org binaries which have 99 percent of those compiled in statically... :oops:

Sorry, backed up a little bit, thought I'd see how high we can go in gtk2land before upgrading nekoware ... 2.13.7 was going well until almost the end :
Code:
cc-1196 cc: WARNING File = testfilechooserbutton.c, Line = 318
The indicated function is declared implicitly.

chooser = gtk_file_chooser_button_new_with_backend ("Select A File - testfilechooserbutton",
^

cc-1515 cc: ERROR File = testfilechooserbutton.c, Line = 318
A value of type "int" cannot be assigned to an entity of type "GtkWidget *".

chooser = gtk_file_chooser_button_new_with_backend ("Select A File - testfilechooserbutton",
^

cc-1515 cc: ERROR File = testfilechooserbutton.c, Line = 348
A value of type "int" cannot be assigned to an entity of type "GtkWidget *".

chooser = gtk_file_chooser_button_new_with_backend ("Select A Folder - testfilechooserbutton",
^

2 errors detected in the compilation of "testfilechooserbutton.c".
gmake[2]: *** [testfilechooserbutton.o] Error 2

I'm gonna make a wag that "chooser" should be something other than an integer ? What would be the most loverly way to achieve that ?

I'm also kind of wondering what a testfilechooserbutton is but maybe I don't want to know .....

Those errors are because of a missing function prototype for gtk_file_chooser_button_new_with_backend().

By default (if you forget the prototype or leave out types in the implementation), every C function returns an int, so this is the reason for the last two errors. The first error says what I just wrote, but in a shorter way :)

Makes sense. So I am going to ass ume that one would need the function prototype no matter what compiler one was using ? In other words, it's got to be in there somewhere or this code wouldn't build ? where is the damned thing ?
