Porting Between Linux and Windows
I am trying to teach myself C++. My goal is to be able to write code for the same app in either Linux or Windows, and compile for both from the same code. Is this possible? I have Code::Blocks 10.05 on both OSes, (Fedora 17 and Windows 7) on a 64 bit machine. Currently Fedora has GTK 2.24.10 and Windows has 2.22.1. Is this going to cause problems with compiling? I have some experience with many versions of basic, but almost none with C or C++, so please keep your answers simple. Thanks.

gdk_pixbuf_save() and const argument issue
Hi, I am a user of gtkmm library. In my application I show some calculated image data employing a Gtk::Image that is initialized with a Glib::RefPtr . Within my saving method I fetch the data as follow: 1 Gtk::Image const& img (my_canvas->getImage()); // getImage() is const 2 Glib::RefPtr pix_buf (img.get_pixbuf()); 3 pix_buf.save(fname, "png"); // fname is a std::string But this approach is not possible since the save() method of class Gdk::Pixbuf is not const. In gtkmm library Gdk::Pixbuf::save() and save_to_buffer() are C++ wrappers around the C functions gdk_pixbuf_save() and gdk_pixbuf_save_to_buffer(), resp. Those C++ methods are not declared const since the C functions take a "GdkPixbuf* pixbuf" parameter (i.e. not const GdkPixbuf* pixbuf). I wonder why the C functions do not take const GdkPixbuf* argument? Is the pixbuf modified inside the save functions?

Yes, I have a largish C/C++ program which I can build for Windows and Linux from the same source code. I think the difficulty is likely to be in your build system rather than the source code. I've found building gtk programs on Windows rather painful. I build WIndows programs on Linux with a cross-compiler. > I have Code::Blocks 10.05 on both OSes, (Fedora 17 and Windows 7) on a 64 > bit machine. I've never used code blocks, perhaps it removes some of the pain from building on win. Try a hello world program and see if you can get it to build and run.

Is this possible? Yes, not much of a problem, particular if you cross-compile on Linux. I have Code::Blocks 10.05 on both OSes, (Fedora 17 and Windows 7) on a 64 bit machine. Currently Fedora has GTK 2.24.10 and Windows has 2.22.1. Is this going to cause problems with compiling? You'll just have to watch out for symbols that are new in GTK 2.24, but there aren't many of those and they're clearly indicated in the developer documentation. You say you're learning C++. If you have good reason to do that, then fine, but note that GTK itself is written in C and is C-oriented. Using C++ will complicate matters. You say you're new to this, so let me point out that C and C++ are separate languages and although C++ interfaces for GTK are available (gtkmm) the more standard development path is to use C with GTK.

Fedora allows you to cross-compile with MinGW and I use Fedora myself to build 32-bit and 64-bit, Linux and Windows executables. I'd highly recommend you compile on one platform. It makes life much easier and you can use GDB on Windows for any debugging needs. Fedora carries GTK 2.24 for both Linux and Windows and I'd recommend sticking to this version as the Windows build of GTK 2.24 is very stable. Previous GTK versions were very unstable. ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

To put the counter argument for someone who says he is a newbie, I think you are looking at this from the wrong direction. The GTK+ headers are in the subset common to C and C++, and can be used in either language (there is also no need to use gtkmm in C++, and sometimes good reasons not to do so). The real question is what language best suits the problem space the program is trying to solve. For some things, C++ is better (in my opinion). With C++11 auto variables, variadic templates and particularly lambda expressions, it is quicker to write code for some problem areas using C++ than C. The GTK+ code you write for a graphical interface will look pretty much the same in either language, if you are not using a wrapper, for the reasons I have mentioned. In other words, GTK+ is the servant and not the master in language choice here.

Re: Porting Between Linux and Windows
Eric, I would suggest to go with Gtkmm [1] as it is the official Gnome C++ wrapper. It is pretty mature by now, has plenty of documentation, and used by a plethora of real world applications. The one I would recommend to look at and learn from is WorkRave [2]. You can quickly install and try it out both on Linux and Windows to explore the possibilities. Although, Gtk/Gtkmm is my personal choice,there are other C++ GUI toolkits to consider such as Qt [3] and wxWidgets [4] which might be tighter coupled with C++. Both have superb documentation and books written to help you started. In his latest book [5], Stroustrup uses FLTK [6]. Another angle to consider is commercial applicability. Here, along US Eastern Shore, you would be hard-pressed to find any Linux work that requires anything by Qt (sadly enough). By the same token, employers value Java [7] and C#/.NET [8] skills more than C/C++ these days. good luck, --Vlad [1] http://www.gtkmm.org/en/ [2] http://www.workrave.org/ [3] http://qt.nokia.com/products/ [4] http://www.wxwidgets.org/ [5] http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Principles-Practice-Using-C/dp/0321543726/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1340506852&sr=1-1&keywords=stroustrup [6] http://www.fltk.org/index.php [7] http://www.java.com/en/java_in_action/ [8] http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/hh388566.aspx On Fri, 2012-06-15 at 17:33 -0700, Eric Tavenner wrote: > I am trying to teach myself C++.
