Re: GtkExtra example doesn't build

[Nickolai Dobrynin <ndobrynin gmail com>]

Al,

I ran the 'find' command over the header files required by the
testrealtime.c
example file, and exactly one copy of each was found -- the one I had
source-installed.
So, the possibility for the GtkExtra package to have been pre-installed is
slim, which
is also consistent with what the package manager says.

Secondly, I think, there may be some misunderstanding going on.  It was when
I
compiled testrealtime.c *from its original location*, within the package,
that it forced
me to change the include-directives the way I described.  After I moved
testrealtime.c
outside the package to an extraneous location, things got back to normal,
and I had
to change the include-directives back to how the original file had them.
After that,
I had to go through all these little changes you can see in the file I
attached to my
previous message.  And finally everything compiled and ran.

Given all this, there is 99% of a chance the changes I made are necessary to
make this particular file (and more than likely the other examples that come
with
GtkExtra) build under gcc 3.4.

I suspect you'll get the exact same behavior if you try to compile this file
directly
from source AND use gcc 3.4.


Best,

Nickolai
