Lots of unresolved external symbols #279

Open NdotA opened 11 months ago

NdotA commented 11 months ago

I doubt this is actually a bug - but I find myself unable to proceed.

My problem: Trying to execute the BAZAAR-example I get no less than 68 unresolved symbols. As far as I can see very basic ones like g-get_current_dir or gtk_button_new_with_label.

Maybe this is a result of the somewhat awkward installation process:

I want to install GTK-Fortran in a Windows 11 environment running Intel-Fortran using Visual Studio 2017. I followed the instructions https://yolegu.xyz/post/2022-05-11-fortran-gui-with-gtk-fortran-installation/ but I ran into problems in #3 Installation of GTK4. The build failed because a module named 'typer' was missing. To install GTK4 I then referred to the README - file in gvsbuild and followed these to the 'gvsbuild build gtk4' command to the Windows Power Shell. There was a lot of text messages, white, yellow, red, closing with the message that installation of glib failed. But I could spot this lib in the gtk-build folder under build and I thought to give it a try. I referred back to the instructions I used first to combine Fortran and GTK4 and finally tried to run the BAZAAR example. With the result already mentioned.

What to do?

Sorry for my clumsy descritption, but I may be somewhat of a specialist in power stations but not in software development and I am working on my own without any backup of some IT specialists.

If you could point me to a forum to resolve my newbie's problems all the better.

Thanks in advance Norbert

Welcome Norbert @NdotA

I fear I can not help you much, as I am not a Windows guru and do not use Visual Studio. And I have access to Win10 but not Win11.

It sounds like your GTK installation just failed. Concerning, the "typer" dependency, it is the first time I hear about it. In my Linux Ubuntu, I can see there is a python library called Typer but I don't know if it is related to yours:

Typer is a library for building CLI applications that users will love using and developers will love creating.

The only advice I can give you is to join the Fortran Discourse: https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/ There is a lot of people there using Windows and familiar with libraries installations, and Visual Studio and Intel Fortran configurations. Maybe someone will have an idea and can help.

Thanks a lot. I will follow this link and see what can be done.
