[gtkmm] Newbie questions (incorrect tutorial?)

[Martin Samuelsson <gtkmm cos user lysator liu se>]

First of all. I'm new to both gtkmm and this list. Although C++ isn't
completly new to me, I'm still learning.

I've read most of the gtkmm2 tutorial and think I understand the main
concepts, but i do have trouble realizing them. The first few hello world
examples are fully understood and working.

Since I'm mostly interested creating a user interface with a clickable vector
model the widgets of main interest for me seem to be EventBox and DrawingArea.

Compiling the example code from the tutorial on those topics though gives me
errors.

The example eventbox.cc in chapter 9:

eventbox.cc: In method `AppWindow::AppWindow()':
eventbox.cc:42: no matching function for call to `Gtk::Label::set_usize (int, int)'
eventbox.cc:45: no matching function for call to `Gtk::EventBox::set_events (GdkEventMask)'
/usr/include/gtkmm-2.0/gtkmm/widget.h:853: candidates are: void Gtk::Widget::set_events(Gdk::EventMask)
eventbox.cc:46: `class Gtk::EventBox' has no member named `button_press_event'
/usr/include/gtkmm-2.0/gtkmm/widget.h:2004: `void Gtk::Widget::realize()' is protected
eventbox.cc:51: within this context

The unnamed linedrawing example in chapter 12:

lines.cc:12: conflicting return type specified for virtual function `int cust_draw_area::on_expose_event(GdkEventExpose *)'
/usr/include/gtkmm-2.0/gtkmm/widget.h:302:   overriding definition as `bool Gtk::Widget::on_expose_event(GdkEventExpose *)'
lines.cc: In method `cust_draw_area::cust_draw_area(int = 0, int = 0)':
lines.cc:19: implicit declaration of function `int size(...)'
lines.cc: In method `int cust_draw_area::on_expose_event(GdkEventExpose *)':

lines.cc:26: no matching function for call to `Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Window>::draw_line (Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::GC>, int, int, int, int)'
lines.cc:27: no matching function for call to `Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Window>::draw_line (Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::GC>, int, int, int, int)'
lines.cc:28: no matching function for call to `Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Window>::draw_line (Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::GC>, int, int, int, int)'
lines.cc:29: no matching function for call to `Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Window>::draw_line (Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::GC>, int, int, int, int)'
lines.cc:30: no matching function for call to `Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Window>::draw_line (Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::GC>, int, int, int, int)'

Are these errors problems with my configuration or is the tutorial outdated?

My environment is based on debian sarge with gtkmm1.3-1.3.23-1 and friends.

I've tried browsing through the API reference but it's a lot of information
and hard to understand right away since I'm not an expert on C++. Are
there any good example applications out there written with gtkmm2 ?

Please help me,
