Xpad

xpad trunk requires gtk+ 3.0

Asked by Mumia W.

During the configure, I get this:

> configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-3.0 gio-2.0) were not met:

I am running Debian oldstable (Squeeze) which has gtk+ 2.0. How can I build xpad trunk without installing gtk+ 3.0?

Hi Mumia,

Xpad v4.3 is based on GTK3, so to build this version you do need GTK3. If you want to build with GTK2, you can use v4.2 which is based on GTK2.

Does this help you sufficiently?

How do I get xpad 4.2 using bazaar?

I don't have bazaar at my disposal (I'm in Bolivia with a reeeeeeally slow Internet connection), but you might want to try this.

First look up the revision you want.
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~xpad-team/xpad/trunk/changes
I believe xpad 4.2 is revision 669.

Then at the command line, try this:
bzr branch lp:xpad -r 669

Does this work for you?

Unfortunately no. Xpad also requires glib-2.0 >= 2.38 , but I have 2.24
:-(

Well, apparantly you were (somehow) able to get v4.2, but as you said correctly there is a dependency on glib v2.38.

Please let me know, if I can help you more.
If not, I will close this question as answered (though not solved for you).

Cheers,
Arthur.
