Scintilla Library

[Christian]

Hi!

I've downloaded the scintilla library source (for linux of course ) form http://www.scintilla.org just a few days ago. After trying to compile it, I've just got an error message beginning like this:

Code: Select all

g++ `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0` -DNDEBUG -Os -W -Wall -DGTK -DSCI_LEXER -I ../include -I ../src  -c PlatGTK.cxx
Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found

But in the RPM-packagelist in Yast2 gtk2.0 is marked as installed. Some searching in google just gave me the information that gtk is just working in Gnome. Is this right? So can I just use the scintilla library under Gnome or was it just an false information? Does anybody has an idea?

Thanks for helping!

Best regards
Christian

you need the development version of GTK2 installed (I.E. all the headers) to be able to compile programs that use the gtk2 library.

I just test compiled the library on my gentoo system and it works fine, type the following in a shell, and see what it produces, it should list all the locations where the GTK headers and libs can be found:

Code: Select all

pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0

Hi spangly!

First of all: Thank you for your answer!

After searching for the package and installing it (and two other), i was able to compile it. But where can I find the *.so library, which is useable for PB, now? There was just a file named 'scintilla.a' built in the '/scintilla/bin/' directory. Or did I missunderstand something?

Scintilla only appears to compile as a static (.a) library under linux, I'm gonna have a hack around with the makefile and see if I can't make it into a shared library (.so)

When the next linux version of PB appears I'm going to be doing some proper PB stuff again, I've ditched windows competely.

[Christian]

So that means there isn't a chance to use the static library in PB, right? OK then I'll wait and looking forward to the point of time you perhaps compiled a scintilla shared library. Would be nice, when you would post it here, when this will have happend.

But thank you very much for help!

you might want to have a look at this that I found just now...

http://www.gphpedit.org/download.php

it has a shared library called gtkscintilla2, looks like it might do the job.
Haven't tried it myself tho...

[Christian]

Hi!

Unfortunataly it doesn't work. Everthing seemed to be fantastic, when I tried to compile it. There was no error message and there was build a libgtkscintilla2.so.0.0.3 file in the /usr/lib directory and in the GtkScintilla2-0.0.8 folder itself. But when I tried to open the library in PB (with OpenLibrary()) there was just given back the result '0'.

Perhaps you just have a try?

You have done an 'ldconfig' after the lib installation. You can also check if you can open correctly the 'glibc' for a test..

[Christian]

Hi Fred!

Yes, I've done the /sbin/ldconfig. And I was able to open all other libraries which I've tried to open before. But I can't imagine where could be the difference between this and other shared libraries. It's really a strange thing ...

Best regards,
Christian

[Christian]

Hi!

Now after some time has gone I'm going to ask if somebody got a full functionall scintilla library? Would be very nice if somebody having it would share it ...

I'm working on that right now

I'm faceing quite a few hoops to jump through, so far I've got a makefile and a function with the code from 'bait' in it, all links fine, just trying to workout how to remove the dependancy on main()

some background info:

scintilla.a is just an archive of .o files, scintilla.a can be importanted into purebasic eash enough, but of course it's going to need aditional code for the commands to access that infomation, or I could be leading you down the garden path here.

I'll keep you posted.

Just to keep you all up with the play;

All linking issuses resoved (thanks Fred)
API for the pure library designed;
CreateScintilla(windowid(),x,y,w,h,flahs)

Unresoved, the OpenWindow has a default GTKVBox on it, scintilla widget I am guessing needs to be added to this GTKVBox, anyone know how to get around this?

[Inner]

Function renamed, ScintillaGadget(GadgetID,X,Y,Width,Height,[Flags])

[Polo]

Inner -> Is it finished ? Would love to play with it

[The_Pharao]

i would love to play with it, too
