Extension by: Jason W
Comments: This is gtk+-2.12.9 development libraries. For this to be
installed the gtk+-2.12.9.uci extension must be converted
to a .tar.gz. Then this extension will load on top
of it. See the gtk+-2.12.9.uci extension for more details
on contents.

Current: 2008/04/20 First version 2.12.9

Hi Jason W!

In the info file it says that the .uci file of gtk2 has to be converted into a .tar.gz file. How is that done?

Have fun with this great distro,

Hi meo,
It is also in the DSL book but here it is. The way to make a .uci into a .tar.gz is basically the same as making a program installed into /opt into a .tar.gz. With the gtk extension loaded, in a terminal:

# cd /
# find opt/gtk+-2.12.9 -not -type d > /tmp/gtk.list

then edit the /tmp/gtk.list to contain any other files you want in the tarball.
Make the right permissions (not really needed at this point for the extension though):

# chown -R 0.0 /{opt/,tmp/}
# chown -R 1001.50 /home/dsl/
# chown 1001.50 /tmp/mydsl.menu/gtk+-2.12.9

Create the .tar.gz:

# tar -C / -T /tmp/gtk.list -czvf /tmp/gtk+-2.12.9.tar.gz

Unload the uci or reboot, and load the gtk+-2.12.9.tar.gz and then you can load the -dev extension.

Hope this helps

JW

..or as a quick and dirty method to put the extension and the development files together, you could do:

Code Sample

$ mydsl-load /path-to-file/gtk+-2.12.9.uci
$ sudo cp -r /opt/gtk+-2.12.9 /tmp
$ mydsl-load /path-to-file/gtk+-2.12.9.uci
$ sudo cp -r /tmp/gtk+-2.12.9 /opt
$ sudo rm -r /tmp/gtk+-2.12.9
$ mydsl-load /path-to-file/gtk+-2.12.9-dev.tar.gz
$ cd /opt
$ sudo mkisofs -R -hide-rr-moved gtk+-2.12.9/ | create_compressed_fs - 65536 > /tmp/gtk+-2.12.9.uci

Thank you guys!

I have the book but here in Sweden there is a saying that "the last thing you look in is the manual". And it seems to be true concerning me. Thank you for your help! It is most appreciated.

Keep on having fun with DSL,
meo
