Re: Data to Callback Functions
I think your right, and I was on IRC for a bit tonight fishing for answers. I'm calling for an instance of the structure on the stack and forgetting that the entire stack vanishes when the program returns to gtk_main. This makes the usefulness of gpointer data in the callback function a lot less usefull than I'd like. It seems that literal data like a string gets sent, and GtkWidget objects can be sent, but other kinds of data, such as my struct, doesn't get passed to the callback function because it doesn't get caputers by gtk_main and it falls off the stack. I'm going to try to envelope the struct in g_new and see if that works. Otherwise, I'll declare the entire struct instance in main and make it globally available. Thanks for taking the time to help a green horn.

Data to Callback Functions
Hello I'm trying to write a program for the clinical pharmacy department at the hospital. I hoped to create a top_level window with a vbox. The top of the vbox has some buttons and the bottom has a frame. Depending on which button is clicked, a different 'form' would desplay below. In order to do this I created several files, clinical.c clinical.h forms.c forms.h calculations.c calculations.h, so I could use the calculations for a future project. In order to retain access to everything, in fomrs.h I has a struct definition struc s1, which has membership of GtkWidgets which I hoped to assign to structure instances to pass to callback functions attacts as gpoint data, with is the last argument in g_signal_connect, such as follows g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (button), clicked, G_CALLBACK (lbw_screen), handle); where handle is my structure with the GtkWidgets stored. However, this is not working, and when I call the signal by clicking on the button, the structure is converted to a null pointer by the gpointer cast and the screen almost looks like it goes out of scope in the debugger. How can I do this other than make the entire structure global? How can I get a callback fuction to gain access to it's parent windows and widgets?

Re: why is gtk install so difficult?
locate is a bad choice - if the bozo has installed glib or something wrong, and locate can be tried first, after looking at the timestamp If you're so unsure about its location that you're resorting to 'find', you just bought yourself a 'find /'. Yes, over *all* the file systems. Not really. You just need to check /opt /usr/include and /lib While find is a HOG, you are only perhaps doing this once, writing results to a file in /tmp which can be timestamped for future installed system. BTW - I also agree that finding the wrong libraries is a problem, which is why the first thing the ./configure script needs to do is to take a hard look at the system and determine what is there. If your using a system for a long time and have loaded ximian, helix and distro RPM's, it is very likely to have multiple libraries installed. We're not really reinventing the wheel here. This is problems Unix and C have needed to contend with for years. The proper usage of autoconf, make, find, locate, ld and even RCS are designed to make this work. When these problems of worng libraries etc occur, they screw up gnonf as much as they would the standard tool set. Your not going to get 100%, but your going to do much better than the current state of gnome and gtk software installation, especially on a standard Linux kernel based x86 system. I've never gotten balsa to compile with the spell libraries by hand since it's ealiest releases. And while I'm not Miguel, I'm far from a newbie at both writing code and administrating systems. With make, you can even go and fetch a needed library off the net, like CPAN, if needed to. You can also TEST partitions and see if they are networking partitions, and remove them from consideration with find. NFS. Figuring out how to make automount filesystems DTRT (when they're configured to automount /usr/local/borked-source on the fly but they aren't mounted when the find runs, for example) is left as an exercise for the masochistic reader. I hate to say it, but GTK is *NOT* the most difficult thing in the world to install. If you can't be bothered to read the directions and understand the tools, maybe you need to make a decision: I agree. GTK is not the hardest thing, but GTK and GNOME aps are a nightmare.
