Folks I'm chugging my way through getting my own catalogue developed, but it is somewhat of a struggle.
I am building glade3 from the sources deb on Ubuntu Edgy. I am trying to add a catalogue to a stable product not work do development work on a dev branch. The source deb has been stripped down (no autogen and various other things). I started off following Phillipe Bertins mini-howto at: http://www.brightsoft.be/publications/private/phb/howto_write_a_glade_plugin.html (once I worked out that the URL on the mailing list gives a 404 'cos it has a full stop on the end). So far so good: * I have made a cut down version of gtk+.xml which is installed. * I have created a cut-down version of glade-gtk.c and an associated glade-gtk.h First major problem, how to compile the damn thing (never programmed C!). After much faffing I have edited makefile.am to ensure that it picks up the additional new c file, it makes the new library (equivalent of libgladegtk.so). I now have a full compile install cycle working: * run gnome-autogen.sh (having first bumped the automake version it uses to 1.9 from 1.4) * make clean * make * sudo make install With a bit of chopping and changing I can get the code to compile, but unsurprisingly it doesn't load the catalogue and its widget. Read up on gdb and start glade under it, to get the following messages: (glade-3:23420): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: specified class size for type `FlexerWindow' is smaller than the parent type's `GtkTable' class size ** (glade-3:23420): WARNING **: Could not get the type from "Flexerwindow ** (glade-3:23420): WARNING **: Tried to include undefined widget class 'Flexerwindow' in a widget group So as I suspect my code is iffy... so lets see if we can get some more information from the debugger - set a break point in my code, load the symbol table for the shared library... Now when I run glade-3 under the debugger is segfaults out giving the messages: > gdb glade-3 (gdb) file /usr/local/lib/glade3/modules/libgladeflexer.so Load new symbol table from "/usr/local/lib/glade3/modules/libgladeflexer.so"? (y or n) y Reading symbols from /usr/local/lib/glade3/modules/libgladeflexer.so...done. (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/local/lib/glade3/modules/libgladeflexer.so warning: shared library handler failed to enable breakpoint Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00000001 in ?? () (gdb) I suspect this is because when I run the standard make && make install it is not using debugging flags and there is no debugging symbols in the object code... So 2 questions: * is this right? * how can I get it to build glade3 with debugging symbols? I tried running gnome-autogen.sh after setting the shell variable CFLAGS to '-g' but that didn't work... Any suggestions? comments? Gordon _______________________________________________ Glade-devel maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/glade-devel
