Gtk warnings

Gtk warnings

[RasikaSrinivasan@gmail.com]

Building the GtkAda sample helloworld from the GtkAda distribution
gives me the following warnings.

Any ideas on the "pango warnings"? I have not changed the file.

Thanks, srini

Edit the file pango.aliases. Mine looks like:

sans = sans
sans += "tahoma bitstream cyberbit"
helvetica = "tahoma"
times="times new roman"

There should be spaces around the '=' in in the line

times="times new roman"

It surprises me that

a) This should be necessary.
b) Given that it is necessary AdaCore hasn't fixed it.

I suppose the issue with (b) is that the warning only shows up on the 
console so if you only ever launch programs from the GUI you might never 
notice it. I had this problem with GNAT GPL 2008 and added the spaces as a 
wild guess. After doing that the warning went away.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only person in the world who has observed this 
odd behavior.

Ah, sorry, I forgot that I installed a newer version of Gtk (the one from
the GIMP distribution), so my file actually is:

courier = "courier new"
tahoma = "tahoma,browallia
new,mingliu,simhei,gulimche,msgothic,kartika,latha,mangal,raavi"
sans = "arial,browallia
new,mingliu,simhei,gulimche,msgothic,kartika,latha,mangal,raavi"
serif = "times new roman,angsana
new,mingliu,simsun,gulimche,msgothic,kartika,latha,mangal,raavi"
mono = "courier new,courier
monothai,mingliu,simsun,gulimche,msgothic,kartika,latha,mangal,raavi"
monospace = "courier new,courier
monothai,mingliu,simsun,gulimche,msgothic,kartika,latha,mangal,raavi"

It precedes one coming with GtkAda in the PATH.

There is another bug in GtkAda distribution. It does not contain
gspawn-win32-helper.exe (required for some Glib functions).

Re: Gtk warnings

[Srini -]

sorted.

turns out there is a c:\gnat\2009\etc\pango directory that comes with
gnat.

my gtkada was installed at c:\gnat\2009\gtkada which had its own etc
directory.

so based on the error message, I had attempted to cleanup the
pango.aliases under \gnat\2009\gtkada\etc which did not seem to do
anything.

Hence my confusion. Anyhow, thanks for the pointers, srini
