Bacon install on Linux Mint 17

[doyle]

Hi guys, long time.

I have a new 64 bit Linux Mint 17 install and wanted to use Bacon again. For some reason, Bacon can't find my gtk.h header files.

Bacon tells me:


Problem:
file './test_.bac.cpp' line 25: PRAGMA INCLUDE gtk/gtk.h
Cause:
No such file or directory

find tells me:


$ find /usr/include -name "gtk.h"
/usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h
/usr/include/gtk-3.0/gtk/gtk.h


OK, let's use the full path:


PRAGMA INCLUDE  /usr/include/gtk-3.0/gtk/gtk.h
PRAGMA INCLUDE  /usr/include/gtk-3.0/gdk/gdk.h


Now Bacon tells me:


Problem:
file '/usr/include/gtk-3.0/gtk/gtk.h' line 30: #include <gdk/gdk.h>
Cause:
No such file or directory



uname -a

Any suggestions on what to do? Any more info needed just ask.

Thanks,
Doyle

Hey doyle

may need a small adjustment

new for bacon 3 and above
basic-converter.proboards.com/post/6266/thread

I will be updating all my code snippets to work without headers calling the lib directly

Thanks for the reply. I've been away for quite some time and Bacon has changed a lot (for the better, it seems!)

Thanks, I'll take a look. Seems I have some relearning to do.

I actually got my program to compile last night by using the following:

PRAGMA LDFLAGS `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0`

PROTO exit,gtk_init,gtk_builder_new_from_string,g_object_unref,gtk_main

Unfortunately, it runs but no window is shown. Thanks for the pointers, it is appreciated!
