Ubuntu 8.04 and GTK Maxgui

| I have the 1.28 standard IDE, compiled with gtk instead of fltk. Here is what I get from terminal: $ ./maxide ./maxide: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkembedmoz.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Ubuntu 8.04 put firefox 3.0 beta 5 on it by default, so it is probably relocation issues. My ld.so.conf file: include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf /usr/lib/firefox/libgtkembedmoz.so /usr/lib/firefox/ Just looked in '/usr/lib/firefox' and there are no files there, just two folders, components and extensions. I looked in both folders and found no libgtkembedmoz.so. |
| ||
| I'm just booting into my freshly upgraded Ubuntu 8.04 and am aware that Firefox 3 is being used. But I think Firefox 2 is still in the repository isn't it? |
| ||
| from this http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=74181 try this sudo ldconfig /usr/lib/firefox This should ensure the library can be found. You may also need to tweak the gtkwebmozilla.bmx file in bah.gtkmaxgui to uncomment this line: Import "-lxpcom_core" |
| ||
| 1) 'sudo ldconfig /usr/lib/firefox' ditto. 2) Ditto there as well, it was already uncommented. If you look at my ldconfig file (first post, thats /etc/ld.so.conf) you will see that '/usr/lib/firefox' is already in there. EDIT: FF3 has some issues, I think ill just go back to FF2 for now. EDIT2: There seems to be major problems (ie nothing works) in gtkhtml, Brucey? When opening maxide, and when going to module documentation nothing shows up in the help tab. |

| Yes, I believe there is a bug or conflict of some kind between GTKmaxgui and pub.freeprocess, as posted a month ago here: http://www.blitzmax.com/Community/posts.php?topic=76522 Does the test code that I posted also hang on 8.04? Import bah.gtkmaxgui
Import bah.gtkwebgtkhtml
Import bah.gtkwebmozilla
win=CreateWindow("Test",1,1,100,100)
process:TProcess = CreateProcess("/home/mark/BlitzMax/bin/bcc",HIDECONSOLE)And yes, my guess was that it's the tickless kernel that was introduced in 7.10 that caused the problem, as the same official IDE code used to work in 7.04 & GTK. |
| ||
| That code just runs and exits with no messages/errors (as assumed, did I miss something?) What exactly does 'tickless' mean? |
| ||
| What exactly does 'tickless' mean? I'm no linux expert, but I *think* it means that previous kernels generated a regular "tick" event, that processes received and could then use to process "things". A tickless kernel doesn't generate these tick events (I think on the basis that it is more efficient processor-wise not to). Therefore any apps dependent on these ticks will hang: if the expected tick doesn't arrive, it will do nothing! As for no error for you with the above code, well, bugger. I thought I was onto something 'cos that definitely hangs for me on 7.10...maybe *that* problem is okay on 8.04, and there's another issue hidden somewhere that's causing your problem... |
| ||
| It still has the hang on apps when I run stuff (and have to close them using system manager - or whatever its called), but I can deal with that. No docs is a problem though. |
| ||
| Correct me if wrong, but my understanding is that Firefox 3's renderer has been split into a seperate package called xulrunner. As a result, something using the renderer no longer depends on Firefox; we now have a nice, clean way to access it. Could use some updating ;) |
| ||
| Could use some updating ;) When firefox3 is out of beta and in widespread use, that might make sense...but not before. |
| ||
| Have found a "kind of" fix for the hang with freeprocess & gtk on my linux box in thread below. Doesn't 100% fix my issue with gtk (CE IDE still hangs, but gets marginally further...) http://www.blitzmax.com/Community/posts.php?topic=76522 |

| CreateProcess works if you sent the full path to the command. No partial file paths. |
