Describe the bug

I am developing a cloud native application and when i am compiling the code, it is giving error. I tested the fyne installation twice but it is giving the following error:

go run fyne.io/fyne/v2/cmd/fyne_demo@latest
# github.com/go-gl/glfw/v3.3/glfw
In file included from ./glfw/src/internal.h:188,
                 from ./glfw/src/context.c:30,
                 from ../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/go-gl/glfw/v3.3/glfw@v0.0.0-20240506104042-037f3cc74f2a/c_glfw.go:4:
./glfw/src/x11_platform.h:33:10: fatal error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
   33 | #include <X11/Xlib.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

i install the libx11-dev using the sudo apt-cache search libx11 | grep ^ lib | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libx11-dev and it is showing the complete installation of libx11. I wrote a OpenGL code and it is working fine. Can you help with this.

Thank you, Gaurav

Did you try the library install commands from https://docs.fyne.io/started/?

[ghost]

Yes i tried and the only change is that instead of using the golang suggested in the version of the started fyne, I used the latest version of the golang. Is it possible that the fyne is causing the compilation error with the new version of golang.?.

Thank you for the time taken to help me approaching towards a solution, Gaurav

No, this error is separate to the Go compiler. The developer headers for libX11 are not being found by your C compiler.

[andydotxyz]

Perhaps you can verify where Xlib.h is found on your system?

i did check

❯ sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
libx11-dev is already the newest version (2:1.8.7-1build1).

but it is still showing the error.

❯ go install fyne.io/fyne/v2/cmd/fyne@latest
❯ go run fyne.io/fyne/v2/cmd/fyne_demo@latest

^C

any guess?.

i further checked and also made the X11 in the PATH

export PATH=/usr/include/X11:$PATH 
echo $PATH 
(base) gauravcodepro-XPS-13-9350% echo $PATH
/usr/include/X11:/home/gauravcodepro/.local/bin:/usr/include/X11:/usr/include/X11:/home/gauravcodepro/miniconda3/bin:/home/gauravcodepro/miniconda3/condabin:/home/gauravcodepro/.cargo/bin:/home/gauravcodepro/.juliaup/bin:/home/gauravcodepro/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/snap/bin:/home/gauravcodepro/.local/bin

but the error is the same.

[andydotxyz]

PATH is not used to look up libraries.

Perhaps you can verify where Xlib.h is found on your system?

Please answer this question so we can proceed.

this is not working and i think i will solve this later. Thank you for the time taken and help provided. I close this now.

Just rounding this out the conversation happened on another channel and pasting in the command from the getting started seemed to solve the issue.
