Issues installing gtk+2.0 and gtkglext #17

Open tristanzaborniak opened 5 years ago

tristanzaborniak commented 5 years ago

Hello;

I've been trying to install GDIS for some time now, but am having trouble figuring out how first to properly install GTK+2.0 and GTKGLEXT.

I am just getting into quantum systems modelling and computer-based work more generally, so am a bit lost concerning what these are, and how to install them in such a way that the installation script will recognize that they have been installed.

I'm using MobaXterm to run the installation script with a Perl extension, but when I do so and specify that I'd like to install the standard GUI package, printed is "gtk+-2.0 [not found]".

I apologize if this is ignorant on my part, but how can I resolve this? Do I need to provide the script with paths of some kind?

Cheers.

an you tell me what system you are trying to install gdis on? Mac, PC or Linux?

tristanzaborniak commented 5 years ago

On PC. Sorry for not making that clear before.

arohl commented 5 years ago

Unfortunately I have never compiled it on a PC (only Mac and Linux) so I don’t really know where to start. The windows compilations in the past were done by a postdoc who has long left academia.

Hmm. Well, I do have Cygwin installed on my machine, so could attempt installing it the Linux way...

On my Mac I install gtkglext1, which in turn install all the dependencies and then the install script finds everything. Hopefully it is this easy on Cygwin...

On Ubuntu 20.04 apt install libgtk2.0-dev libgtkglext1-dev is enough to bring the dependencies to build the package (build-essential is there as well).
