libglibmm-2.4-dev Not Installed Correctly

Asked by tomdean

Ubuntu 16.04
I installed libxml++2.6-dev. The examples need libglibmm to build.

in the myparser example,

> gcc main.cc myparser.cc -I. -I/usr/include/libxml++-2.6/ -o myparser

libglibmm-2.4-dev is already the newest version (2.46.3-1).

But, there is no include directory that should contain the *.h files.

Verify whether the header file exists in the include directory, e.g. with the command
locate ustring.h

If it does not exist in
/usr/include/glibmm-2.4/glibmm/ustring.h
then you can try reinstalling the package with the command
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libglibmm-2.4-dev

If the header file exists, then you probably have to provide some additional compilation parameter (something like -Iglibmm-2.4)

I reintalled libxml2++-dev, libglibmm-2.4-dev, and libglib2.0-dev then
used :

gcc main.cc myparser.cc -I. `pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0` \
    `pkg-config --cflags libxml++-2.6` -o myparser \
    `pkg-config --libs glib-2.0` \
    `pkg-config --libs libxml++-2.6` \
    `pkg-config --libs glibmm-2.4` \
    -lstdc++

Also,

 > locate ustring.h
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/unicode/ustring.h
 > sudo updatedb
 > locate ustring.h
/usr/include/glibmm-2.4/glibmm/ustring.h

Does it now work as expected, or are there further error messages?

Maybe `pkg-config --cflags glibmm-2.4` has to be added to the gcc command line (similar to the lines for glib and libxml++)

Can you help with this problem?
