#20 Please add a .pc file

Nilesh Patra — Mon, 01 May 2023 12:33:25 -0000

Libs.private is probably not needed. But please see to it.

Please add a .pc file

Nilesh Patra — Mon, 01 May 2023 12:20:48 -0000

Please add a .pc (pkg-config) file. It helps much better to track the required libs instead of a vdk-config file. gnome-config (where this was originally taken from) has also switched to a pkg-config file.

A libvdk2.pc file with this should work:

prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${prefix}/lib/
includedir=${prefix}/include
pkglibdir=${libdir}/vdk

Name: libvdk2
Description: Visual Development Kit C++ library version 2
Requires: gtk+-x11-2.0 gtk+-x11-2.0
Version: 2.4.0
Libs: -L${libdir} -lvdk2 -lpthread
Libs.private: -lpthread
Cflags: -I${includedir}/vdk2

VDKBuilder error messages

Ravi — Wed, 11 Nov 2015 16:42:03 -0000

I installed the latest VDKbuilder in Kubuntu from Software Center. I get the error message when I start vdkb2 from terminal mode:

How can this be fixed ?

I also get an error message the "Widgets are disabled" when the form is loaded.

ravi@ravi-desktop:~$ vdkb2

Main window size on dual monitor

Stefano Fornari — Wed, 27 Oct 2004 13:17:48 -0000

On a dual monitor system, when I launch vdkbuilder, the
main panel goes over the two monitors and it is not
resizable.

Gcc3 fixes

Anonymous — Sun, 14 Dec 2003 22:48:29 -0000

This patch allows vdkbuilder to be compiled under gcc3.

VDK File Open dialog is crashing

Jaroslav Fojtik — Sun, 10 Aug 2003 18:22:01 -0000

//I am using this fragment of code
bool Test1Form::Onbutton0Click(VDKObject* sender)

if( ! filter.isNull())

sometimes the procedure is called even when
filetype=NULL!!!!!

still sometghing unclean
{
filetype->Text = (char*) filter;
LoadDir();
}
}
return;

forms cannot be resized

Chris Bruner — Tue, 22 Jul 2003 03:07:48 -0000

This makes things more diffcult in a busy screen. (wish list stuff)

file extensions get confused

Chris Bruner — Tue, 22 Jul 2003 02:58:02 -0000

When trying to use files with extension cpp instead of cc the
make doesn't know how to deal with them.
Then when setting the default file type to cpp instead of cc,
adding signals goes to a file of the same name, but with the cc
extension.

Caret is not visible

Jaroslav Fojtik — Mon, 17 Feb 2003 10:15:51 -0000

It is nice that VDK builder can change color of
background and color of text.
But the caret (text cursor inside editor) is all
the times painted in black even if you have black
background. In such a case it is pretty hard to edit text.
It will be a good idea that caret is painted by
foreground color and not fixed color.

missing quotes in configure script

Markus Schwarzenberg — Tue, 12 Nov 2002 15:57:26 -0000

In the configure script found in vdk-2.0.2 quotes are
missing in line #9091: It should be

if test -z "$DOXYGEN"; then

otherwise configure fails if $DOXYGEN is unset.
