#213 myipc.cpp:136: error: ‘gtk_widget_get_window’ was not declared in this scope

[Michael Carter]

When I try to compile I get:

myipc.cpp: In constructor ‘MyServerConnection::MyServerConnection()’:
myipc.cpp:49: warning: converting to non-pointer type ‘GdkNativeWindow’ from NULL
myipc.cpp: In member function ‘virtual bool MyServerConnection::OnPoke(const wxString&, const wxString&, IPCData, IPCSize_t, wxIPCFormat)’:

I was wondering what OS XML Copy Editor was built on.

Ultimately need it to run on RedHat 5.8.

I've been trying to compile on Fedora 20 and downloading all the latest required libraries and trying to compile on RedHat 5.8

Same results.

[Zane U. Ji]

You can add the following line to the beginning of the file:

#define __NO_GTK__

so that the file can be compiled. I haven't compiled it on RedHat.

Got further. Now at the following. Concentrating on the RH5 install. Also trying to keep download and compile all the required bits manually so that I can track what libraries are needed. (also get the static libraries as I want to get this as standalone as possible)

Nevermind... somewhat answered my own question in there. Had to add -I/stage/xml-pack/INSTALL/include/libxml2

[Zane U. Ji]

It's strange. After I run the following commands:

su -c "yum -y install gtk2-devel"
./autogen.sh && CPPFLAGS="-Wno-unused-local-typedefs -Wno-unused-value" ./configure && make

on Fedora 20, XML Copy Editor was built successfully.

[Zane U. Ji]

Good to know. I realized that the NO_GTK macro is not as rigorous as I expected. A traditional macro that start with "HAVE_" should be used. I'll fix it ASAP.

[Michael Carter]

Might not be the right place for this question but it's related to getting this compiled on RH5.

Any way to trigger xmlcopyeditor to use .a (static) libraries over .so (shared) Since RH5 is using libraries too old I'd rather do the static route for the "upgraded" libraries.

[Zane U. Ji]

The link option is -static if I am not mistaken. https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Link-Options.html

[Zane U. Ji]

It should have been fixed in [3f87d8].
