OK, I am trying to emerge BitchX and want gtk support. However, no matter what I have in my use varables I cannot get the emerge to enable gtk support.

I have checked on the BitchX site for what is needed for gtk support to be enabled, Their FAQ says:

Quote:
To compile gtkBitchX from scratch you will need the following: GTK 1.2.0,
ZVT from gnome-libs 1.0.12, imlib 1.9.4 and pthreads. glibc 2.1 or
higher is recommended if on Linux.

As a small side note, on more modern systems, gnome does not store it's include files in the same place as they did before gnome-2, so there is a slight trick you may have to do, if you get a weird string of errors such as this: gtkbitchx.c:6:25: zvt/zvtterm.h: No such file or directory, what you have to do is: ln -s /usr/include/gnome-1.0/zvt BitchX/include/zvt, or whereever your distrobution puts it usaly is /usr/include/gnome-1.0, this will be fixed in c20


Having checked my system I have the following:

    [ebuild R ] gnome-base/gnome-libs-1.4.2
    [ebuild R ] media-libs/imlib-1.9.14-r1
    [ebuild R ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.1-r4


Pthreads is a patch on glibc, which has been done. and '/usr/include/gnome-1.0/zvt' does exist. My 'USE=' flags have gtk in them.
So all things being equal, I should get gtk support when I build BitchX.

Well aparently things are not equal. I get the following during my build:
Code:
checking for a list of signal names... yes
checking whether to enable GTK support... no
checking whether to enable Win32 GUI support... no
checking whether to enable OS/2 PM support... no
checking whether to enable sound support... yes
checking whether to enable SSL support... yes


There is no mention of zvt, pthreads, gnomelib in the configure or make process. so I can't tell what it isn't finding.

I have tried switching 'gtk' to 'gtk2' and having them both in my 'USE=' entry in /etc/make.conf, but to no avail.

Can anyone shine a clue my way :?:

what I just did to get this to work is the added the following link to the source dir..

ln -s /usr/include/gnome-1.0/zvt BitchX/include/zvt

once you ucompress the source do that link command then go up a dir and compile with the normal flags and it will work for you..
