RE: How do I update ONLY GLib?



Some new information...  If I compile my program without the call to
g_file_set_contents and run ldd against the executable, I see:
  libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0  (0xb7f27000)
Which is a symbolic link to:
  libglib-2.0.so.0.1200.4
Which seems consistent with a glib level of 2.12.4 and the prefix of where I
installed the new GLib.  And if I run objdump against the above lib, I see
that both g_file_get_contents (which I still have coded in my program) and
g_file_set_contents are there.
So for whatever reason, it looks like my makefile just is not recognizing
where to find the header file.

Sergei, I am still debating your offer.  I was hoping to solve this without
need for any additional downloads.  Also, if I can understand what is going
on without your program taking care of all the "dirty" work, I will probably
have a better understanding of how things work.

Thanks -- Warren

Not necessarily so - see how, for example, how 'gtk-demo' is built:

and pay attention to

/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/install/glib-2.12.6/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0

line - in the above case I didn't set up LD_LIBRARY_PATH when I invoked
'ldd'.

By the way, my offer still stands, and my tool doesn't require to set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH manually, it automatically generates shell script wrappers
setting environment variables in a manner they are pointing to local
installs.
