digitalmars.D.learn - GtkD not working
Hello, I'd appreciate any help.
I downloaded the GtkD sources and built the GtkD.lib using rdmd,
so far so good. I have followed the instructions in "Installing
on Windows" (editing sc.ini and copying contents of the src
folder of GtkD into DMD's src folder, etc.). I also installed the
Gtk 3.8.1 version (x86 and x86-64).
When I tried to compile the simple Hello world type of
application, I got about 7 "undefined symbols" and it refused to
compile. So I poked around and added "GtkD.lib" into the Library
Files section in project settings (I'm using Visual D). Now it
did compile, but I get an exception in KernelBase.dll.
At this point, I just don't know what to do next. Could someone
help, please?
Below is the Hello World GtkD-style application that I tried:
module main;
import std.stdio;
import gtk.Main;
import gtk.MainWindow;
void main(string[] args)
{
Main.init(args);
MainWindow window = new MainWindow("A Window");
window.showAll();
Main.run();
}

Do you get any error messages?None that I know of. It compiles and starts to launch, then just throws an exception.

I've been checking stack overflow and some blogs and kept trying various things. I finally managed to launch it normally. For anyone who might have had the same problem, the solution is to pass "-L-lgtkd -L-ldl" to the command line. Project -> Properties -> Command Line -> Additional Options.

Also your first post whould suggest you are using Windows while -L-ldl would link in the Linux dynamic linker. -- Mike Wey

"Daemon" <Daemon yahoo.com> I don't know your setup but you should usually get some linker error when not linking against the gtkd libraries.

And I didn't get any errors whatsoever (they should be in the Error List, right?).
