promachos has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

My aim : install Gtk2::GladeXML CPAN Module : http://search.cpan.org/~tsch/Gtk2-GladeXML-1.007/ Perl environnement I've installed succesfully the Gtk2 module and its dependancies and dowload the latest Glade version 3x bundle with GTK+ perl >= 5.8.0 Glib >= 1.02 (perl module) Gtk2 >= 1.00 (perl module) I've installed this perl module using ppm libglade-2.0 (C library) =>>> This is my PROBLEM seee below Also after installing glade I've set up manually PKG_CONFIG_PATH on y variable system (This cancel out the error of libxml2.0.ppc missing) The error I've got when I run the perl MakeFile.pl is follow : Set up gcc environment - 4.4.0 at Makefile.PL line 48 *** can not find package libglade-2.0 >= 2.0.0 *** check that it is properly installed and available in PKG_CONFIG_PATH at Makefile.PL line 48 I've check on my directory and can see libglade-2.0.pc and libxml-2.0.pc in C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\lib\pkgconfig Why does my perl MakeFile.pl cannot be run ? Thanks for your helps . My configuration : OS windows Vista . GCC :dmake with MinGcc Perl : ActivePerl last version My variables on Win: GTK_BASEPATH C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\GTK\2.0 My variable in windows Vista are : PKG_CONFIG_PATH C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\lib\pkgconfig

What package was it that you installed using ppm ? What is the actual module you're trying to build that throws up the error you've reported ? Check that libglade-2.0.pc contains the info that it ought to contain. Other than that, I'm wondering whether it's just some naming problem - expecting a pc file of a slightly different name, or the pc file specifies something that is not quite correct. What does libglade-2.0.pc contain ? Cheers, Rob UPDATE: I wonder if it's just that ExtUtils::PkgConfig regards 2.0 as not being greater than or equal to 2.0.0, and is complaining about that.	[reply]

I'm trying to install this module : http://search.cpan.org/~tsch/Gtk2-GladeXML-1.007/ perl MakeFile.PL dmake (win)/ Make (unix) ... => I still don't understand what can I do to solve this problem. I'm wishing to use so much Glade& Perl together! cheers Antoine My configuration is based on ActivePerl PErl Version : This is perl, v5.10.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread ExtUtils-PkgConfig-1.12 Glib-1.221 Gtk2-1.183 I've installed the following using ppm.

I still don't understand what can I do to solve this problem It's a bit hard for me to really know without going through the process myself. (I'm not familiar with the finer points of ExtUtils::PkgConfig.) From where did you get the ppm package that you installed ? Also from where did you get the requisite C libraries ? I'll try to install the same stuff and see if I can work out what's going wrong. In the meantime, at aprroximately line 51 of the Makefile.PL, you'll see `exit 0;` I would try commenting that line out ... then re-run 'perl Makefile.PL' and see what happens. If the makefile gets written, run 'dmake' and see how it all goes. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]

This program will download/build/install everything for Gtk2::GladeXML Requirements Strawberry Perl (or ActivePerl with `ppm install MinGW`), WWW::Mechanize, unzip, tar, gzip. Read more... build-gtk-glib-post.PL (12 kB) Your laptop will get warm :)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

And I now have a ppm package for Gtk2-GladeXML-1.007. Anyone wanta it, just /msg me and I'll send it over. (It's for perl-5.10, though I could probably provide the same for 5.8 if needed.) Cheers, Rob	[reply]

For me, the Makefile.PL runs to completion as long as libglade-2.0.pc can be found (in PKG_CONFIG_PATH) and contains at least: `Name: Libglade Description: a library for dynamically loading GLADE interface files Version: 2.6.4` [download] It doesn't seem to matter what else (if anything) is included in libglade-2.0.pc - and it doesn't seem to matter whether the libglade-2.0 installation can be found (or even if it exists). Running 'dmake' still fails because MakeMaker hasn't found any of the libraries - and I'm not sure how one is supposed to remedy that. This looks like a complete and utter mess to me. What do you get between the `Set up gcc environment - 4.4.0` and the `at Makefile.PL line 48 *** can not find package...` ? Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]
