GTK and Unicode

WishMaster · Post by **WishMaster** » Sat Dec 30, 2006 8:06 pm

Yes, always Unicode

This works as expected if you disable unicode support but with unicode it only outputs "H".

gtk_init_(0, 0)
*gdialog = gtk_message_dialog_new_(0, #GTK_DIALOG_MODAL, #GTK_MESSAGE_INFO, #GTK_BUTTONS_OK, "Hello there!" ,"","")
resp=gtk_dialog_run_(*gdialog)
gtk_widget_destroy_(*gdialog)

Yes, gtk2 expect UTF8 string, while gtk1 expect ascii (no unicode support). Internal PB strings are UTF16.

Code: Select all

ImportC "/usr/lib/libgtk.a"
  gtk_message_dialog_new(l.l, d.l, f.l, e.l, s.p-utf8 , r.p-utf8, k.p-utf8)
EndImport

gtk_init_(0, 0) 
 *gdialog = gtk_message_dialog_new(0, #GTK_DIALOG_MODAL, #GTK_MESSAGE_INFO, #GTK_BUTTONS_OK, "Hello there!" ,"","") 
 resp=gtk_dialog_run_(*gdialog) 
 gtk_widget_destroy_(*gdialog)

works.

How do I get such a path? Are these libs always in /usr/lib/?

Or: where can I read about standard paths of Linux?

@Remi:
whereis [yourlib]
and
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem ... y_Standard

Yep, I used whereis to find it, but I wasn't sure if it is always in this path. I often
see paths like "lib-tkg-1.8.1.0\tkgg-lib". I think this one isn't safe because
of the version number in the path, but it sometimes is the only path I can
find.

Thx for the wiki-link

I looked fot libgtk.a here on my OpenSUSE 10.2 system - even with whereis I couldn't find it.
So I used find / | grep libgtk.a et voilà: It is in /opt/gnome/lib

This path doesn't exist here.
Uh, what if it were a shared object?

btw: The IDE doesn't show the SO-Output option.

This is why Linux has ldconfig & /etc/ld.so.conf..
To sort out different paths to libs on different distros..

Great, I didn't know this yet.

Thx olejr, I think I have to read about it now a little bit.
