Re: Visual Studio 2008 configuration for GTK+2.22

[Lukas Kontenis <dse ssd gmail com>]

I don't own VS so I can't check this, but try these:

1) You don't need to recompile when modifying the .glade file. Double back to the point where you had a working executable giving an assert upon execution and then try to only modify the .glade file. Don't recompile.

2) Try building a C project. I don't know how thats done in VS, sorry. I think, to use GTK with C++ you need to include and link with gtkmm not gtk+. But I'm sure that's not what you're trying to do.

Thanks for the responses..

I changed the .glade file to GtkBuilder format but now an even more strange bug appears...

Something seems wrong with the gio.lib ... but what?? and WHY????

I'm not sure if VS handles your file as C properly, it is not what's causing this particular problem, but still.

I think your problem is due to the fact, that the XML file provided is in the "Libglade" format, whereas the sample code uses "GtkBuilder". So either produce a GtkBuilder version of the XML file by selecting "GtkBuilder" in Edit->Preferences of your Glade or just change tags:

<glade-interface> to <interface>
<widget> to <object>

For such a small file that should do but it's completely unprofessional <:

By the way, just noticed, this is explained in one of the comments of the tutorial page...

See if any of this helps.

Hello everyone,

 I'm trying to run a simple gtk+ application with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 under Windows XP.

I downloaded the bundle folder of GTK+2.22, added the C:\...\gtk\bin to the Path Environment Variable,

executed pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0 and gtk-demo (run fine..). To Visual Studio, I added all the "-I" results of the pkg-config to Tools->Options->VC++ Directories->Include Files, added the "-L" results (C:\...\gtk\lib) to Tools->Options->VC++ Directories->Library Files and finally added all the "-l" results (.lib files) to Project->Project Properties->Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies.

Testing it...

In order to test my settings I did the following:

- Created a new Empty project in Visual Studio 2008.

- Added a new .cpp file (main.cpp).

- Created an "tutorial.glade" file by copying/pasting the XML code shown here

- Changed the "id = window1" to "id = window" in line 5 of .glade file because it caused an error.

- Compiled it just fine...

All the steps above have confirmed in some way from a lot of hours googling! I've tried for 4 days now to configure it properly but no luck...

I really need this to work, so If anybody has a similar experience on this problem or any solutions to suggests I would deeply appreciate it!
