Re: [glade--]gtk combo pb in C++

[Nicolas Montavont <montavont clarinet u-strasbg fr>]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply... You'll attach a .glade file which contains combo 
with items.
Please, to see the error, generate the code in C++.
Here is the exact error I get:

$glade-2 combo.glade
GTK Accessibility Module initialized
Changed dir to /home/aktarus/Combo
sh: line 1: autoconf2.50: command not found

Yes I can understand that, but it is glade-2 that generates the .xml 
file. So why does it use deprecated widgets ?

Right

Thanks again for the help...
