Problem for testgtk build

Problem for testgtk build

[Olivier Scalbert]

Hello all !

I want to build testgtk on my debian testing box and I have some problems.
I think I have installed all the necessary packages as I am able to 
compile small gtkada applications.

I have untar testgtk.tar.gz.
I have read the README file, that told me to type 'make' after having 
configured GtkAda.
As I have installed GtkAda with aptitude, I suppose that it is well 
configured.

When I start 'make', I have:

ols@spock:~/projects/ada/testgtk$ make
Makefile:16: ../src/Makefile.common: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `../src/Makefile.common'.  Stop.

I should have miss something as I have no src directory ...


If I compile with gnatmake, everything compiles except view_gl.ads ..

ols@spock:~/projects/ada/testgtk$  gnatmake -Ptestgtk
...
gcc-4.3 -c -g -O1 -gnatafo -I- -gnatA 
/home/ols/projects/ada/testgtk/opengl/view_gl.ads
cannot generate code for file view_gl.ads (package spec)
to check package spec for errors, use -gnatc
gnatmake: "/home/ols/projects/ada/testgtk/opengl/view_gl.ads" 
compilation error


Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Olivier

In this context, I think it means that you have run ./configure, which 
is part the GNU Autotools. This is an initial step that creates the 
actual Makfile(s) when building GtkAda from source.

Testgtk is typically installed in the shared examples directory:

$PREFIX/share/examples/gtkada/testgtk

[$PREFIX is wherever aptitude put GtkAda.]

Thanks John for helping me.
I do not want to build libgtkada as it is already installed !
I have succeed to compile small gtkada demos so everything should work.

I just want to build the complete testgtk project, but I see no 
./configure under the testgtk directory.

I think I understand. The problem is that testgtk is not a standalone 
project: the Makefile for testgtk doesn't exist until you run 
./configure. First, check that it's not already installed in the shared 
examples directory, as suggested above.

Failing that, you might be able to download the GtkAda source, run 
./configure using the --prefix option to point to your existing 
installation, then cd into testgtk to run the freshly minted Makefile. 
You might also look at `./configure --help`.

I don't think you can hurt anything that `apt-get install` can't fix, 
but there's a lot I don't know about Autotools. FWIW, here's my notes 
for building GtkAda on Mac OS X:

Please read /usr/share/doc/libgtkada2-dev/README.Debian.  It contains
a specific "Note about testgtk" that explains the issue.
