 Posted: Sun Jul 06, 2003 11:26 pm Post subject: Using xmmscrtl.h and more importantly glib.h |
 |
|
OK, so in my attempts to write something usefull, I'm wanting to control xmms for my project.
I found out about libxmms, which had 0% documentation. I managed to find a Python script for Xchat that used libxmms. It turns out the file for remote control is xmms/xmmsctrl.h. I wrote a small program just to test out one of the xmms_remote functions. I found a little breakage where xmmsctrl.h wants to include glib.h. Now, on Gentoo glib headers are seperated into two dirs, glib-1.2 and glib-2.0, there is no glib.h in the base /usr/include directory. So I modified the xmmsctrl.h to point to glib-1.2/glib.h and try to compile again, but now glib.h can't find glibconfig.h. On my system glibconfig.h is in two locations:
/usr/lib/glib/include/glibconfig.h
/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h
Editing glib.h to point to one of these locations is obviously not practical.
So, my question is: How do I use glib.h?
Thanx

It's best to edit out all paths to include files from the source code: | Code: | | #include <glibconfig.h> |
and use -I compilaton options: | Code: | | gcc -c -I$PATH_TO_GLIB_INCLUDE_DIR your-file.c |
Hm. There's a chance I can't fire up enough neurons at this time of day. Is your question a lot more profound than I think, or what? |

Thats the point, they don't use implicit locations.

Can't do that because /usr/lib/glib/include only contains one file: glibconfig.h, no glib.h.

I think so

You can use more than one -I flag...
| Code: | | gcc -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/include/glib ... |
Is there some reason for this not to work for you? |

oh yeh, right works now with | Code: | | gcc xmmsctrl.c -I/usr/lib/glib/include/ -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -o xmmsctrl |
However it doesn't compile because xmmsctrl.h only contains the function declarations. There are no other files in the xmms include dir that have the actual functions.
 bad xmms devs, bad!

The actual functions are not supposed to be there, they are already compiled into a library. You should link against libxmms (IIRC): | Code: | | gcc -o your-program your-program.c -lxmms |
You should have libxmms.so.[x.y.z] in /usr/lib. |

ahh thanks  getting there slowly 
Is it possible to load in a library from the source? Or must it be linked in?

What do you mean, load the library from the source? Dynamic linking?
Try
But I don't see why do you need this. |

Don't need it, just wondered if it was possible to do it without having to use -lxmms.
Thank you for your help
