$ sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev Generally speaking to build things based on libfoo, you need libfoo-dev. In addition, to install anything that is needed to build a package, say gedit, you can run: $ sudo apt-get build-dep gedit Searching http://packages.ubuntu.com/ or Synaptic can help.
This problem can also be fixed from within Eclipse, as is described in the blog post Fix Eclipse colours in ubuntu 12.04. Go into the Preferences (Window -> Preferences) Choose General -> Appearance from the left menu Uncheck the checkbox Use mixed fonts and colours for labels Before After
Hmm, ok. I’d suggest code like this, then: typedef struct { int type; int result; } DialogData; static gboolean display_dialog(gpointer user_data) { DialogData *dialog_data = user_data; GtkWidget *dialog; if (dialog_data->type & MB_YESNO) dialog = gtk_message_dialog_new(…); else dialog = gtk_message_dialog_new(…); // Set title, etc. dialog_data->result = gtk_dialog_run(…); gtk_main_quit(); // Quits the main loop run in MessageBox() … Read more
The first incarnation of the project was called GTK (which stood for GIMP Toolkit). At some very early point, while the project was still part of The GIMP (and before version 1.0), it was renamed to GTK+. Despite this, people often referred to it as GTK out of convenience or ignorance. The GTK+ name was … Read more
You fix this warning by giving the GtkDialog a parent to be modal to. The relevant functions are gtk_window_set_transient_for() (which sets this window to always be on top of, or transient for, another one) and optionally gtk_window_set_modal() to make it a modal dialog. This is ultimately what the various GtkDialog constructors do.
Gui components need to be updated into gui threads. Try one of the following: SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> { //commands }); javafx.application.Platform.runLater(() -> { //commands });
Gtk does not call any signal handler from a non-main thread. Any worker thread you found in a Gtk application interacts with the main thread via a message queue. You can see that in the Glib source. For example, see the implementation of g_dbus_connection_signal_subscribe() and schedule_callbacks() in gdbusconnection.c.(A worker thread calls g_source_attach(…, subscriber->context), where the … Read more
You can edit Eclipse’s CSS instead of messing with the GTK theme. In your Eclipse directory find the file plugins/org.eclipse.platform_4.2.*/css/e4_default_gtk.css (there’s an * in there, because I guess that the version may change in the future or may be different already). In this file there’s a CSS class: .MPartStack { font-size: 11; swt-simple: false; swt-mru-visible: … Read more
Before actually using GUI dialogues, consider using console prompts. Quite often you can get away with simple “y/n?” prompts, which in bash you achieve via the read command.. read -p “Do something? “; if [ $REPLY == “y” ]; then echo yay; fi If console prompt’s just won’t cut it, Zenity is really easy to … Read more
This suggestion will tell you which minor version of 2.0 is installed. Different major versions will have different package names because they can co-exist on the system (in order to support applications built with older versions). Even for development files, which normally would only let you have one version on the system, you can have … Read more
