without gtk?

[Brujah]

Is it possible at all to use purebasic without having gtk installed?
I used pb 4.20 before and my code worked.
Now I wanted to switch to the newest compiler (4.5.1) and it tells me it wants all the gtk libraries.

I use sdl commands only, as I want my game to run everywhere.
But it seems even if I open a window now I need gtk.

Is this right?

If you use any of the gui commands (i.e. opening a window) or even use the Messagerequester, GTK librairies are used.
It could not be, that on previous versions no GTK libs are installed and using a window or messagerequester was possible... afaik since the first version of PB for linux GTK was used (in earlier Versions gtk1 from 4.0 on V2.0)

So if you didn´t change your distro in any way, the code running (and requesting libs) on 4.51 MUST request the same libs on 4.20
... if not... it´s another issue ... may you post the error output here

[Brujah]

This is what the compiler gives me:

I just open a screen. No window.
I do not (knowingly) use gtk elements.

In fact the screen is a window. So GTK libraries are needed, even if you just want to open screen.

Hi Brujah,

not that I knew a lot about GTK+ and how and where it has to be installed, but the compiler messages you posted are not uncommon to me.

I only get these messages when some kind of screen output is demanded, never for 'normal' windows. In this case I have to set the compiler option 'library subsystem' to : opengl and then it works fine.

Hopefully this already solves it for you as well (and make sure to write it in small letters).

Greetings ~ Vera

[walker]

sorry to be contrary ..
but using the subsystem "opengl" doesn´t change anything as he is using a windowed screen .... (see compiler output)
here are all dev-libs missing....

Guessing you´re using LinuxMint (as shown in your signature) then there should be NO problem as I use LM by myself...
Just install all the -dev libs for GTK 2.0 sdl1.2 ... use

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk2.0-dev libgnome2-dev libgnomeprintui2.2-dev libxine-dev libsdl1.2-dev libiodbc2-dev

hope, I did not missed a package ....

[Brujah]

The point is I do not want to install the gtk libraries.

My game uses nothing that requires gtk I use sdl only.
It can't be that opening the screen requires gtk, as I did this with pb 4.20 as well without requiring to install the gtk-dev libs.

opengl is no option as well, as I want my game to run everywhere.

[Brujah]

I just downloaded the pb 4.20 compiler for linux from the museum and it compiled my game without requiring any gtk libs.
So this has definately changed.

Just to clarify: Do you use OpenScreen() or OpenWindowedScreen() ?

If you use OpenScreen() only, then SDL and XLib should be enough. I will take a closer look.

[Brujah]

I use both. Depending on what the user wants to have.

[ts-soft]

OpenWindowedScreen() requires allways gtk, you can't use it without.

[Brujah]

When I use pb 4.20 openwindowedscreen does not require gtk!
If you don't believe me just try it.
