I've built a small GUI app for work that uses some .glade files for pop-up windows. Recently, the ground beneath me was shifted - my environment was upgraded. Newer pyGTK versions require GTKBuilder and .xml files instead of Glade and .glade files and now my poor app is broken.
I need to convert the .glade file to the newer .xml file. Problem is Glade-3 is not on our system, and I can't find gtk-builder-convert on the web. I've looked at the Gnome GIT Browser, don't know where to start looking or how to search it.
Would anyone be kind enough to point me to the gtk-builder-convert python script?
gtk-builder-convert is part of GTK and it should already be installed on your system since you have GTK version 2.12 or higher. But if you really can't find it, here it is in the git browser: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/tree/gtk/gtk-builder-convert
ubuntu: install the tools by sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
but it is now deprecated
It worked on Linux for me using Gtk3+ and Glade3+ installed from conda by following steps.
Open your Gtk1+ older glade XML file designed in Glade1+ user interface in Glade3+ user interface.
Click on Save button in Glade3+ user interface.
Use this command after conda activate gtk-builder-convert infile outfile.

I have some problems with eclipse indigo x64 Linux; The problem is using windowbuilder (the SWT); I tried using gwt or swing but they both cause either windowbuilder freeze or even eclipse crash...
The alike issue it seems I found related info in official eclipse indigo offline Help which says :
How can I prevent the preview window from flashing under Linux using Metacity
In order to create the graphics that you see in the design view,
WindowBuilder Pro creates an off screen window containing the various
widgets and they takes a screen snapshot of them. This works very well
under Windows, OSX and some versions of Linux. Recent versions of the
Metacity window manager (more recent than 2.1.4), however, have been
modified/"fixed" to disallow windows to be opened off screen. This
forces the preview window to appear on screen leading to an annoying
flashing effect any time you make a change. The solution is to disable
the Metacity "fully_onscreen" constraint by patching the Metacity
source code and rebuilding and installing the patched version into
your system.
Here are the steps to follow:
Download the Metacity source code from ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/metacity/
Unpack the source code tarball into any temporary directory.
Chdir into this directory (with the unpacked code).
Find window.c file and open it with your favourite texteditor.
Find a line with "window->require_fully_onscreen = TRUE;"
Replace it with "window->require_fully_onscreen = FALSE;"
Save the changes and close the editor.
Open a terminal and chdir into the directory with the source code (nice if you have already done this)
Run "./configure".
Run "make all".
Make sure that steps 9 & 10 completed without errors.
Become root (or execute the next command via "sudo" depending on the Linux you are running)
Run "make install" (or "sudo make install").
Save your work and close any application you are working with.
End your session (or press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to restart the x-server) and log in again.
You are done!
well seems like I have the snapshot really but, as I can get it, the snapshot doesn't want to dispose or similar so I have either resize the whole eclipse or press F5 to refresh (which works not at once);
I am not sure how to fix the issue in case I have xfce+adwaita installed? I don't have metacity installed; Seems like xfce works with gtk instead of metacity (correct me if I am wrong);
So my question is... how to fix the "window flashing or freezing" if I have :
xfce4
adwaita-dark theme
linux arch x64ce
Thanks
Try to install install libswt-gtk-3-jni and libswt-gtk-3-java.
Screen shot here.
With Cntrl-Shift-I
No matter how I install Jupyter(aka IPython) I get a dud webpage. It does not display tabs or menus as expected.
The screen shot above is from a 64bit Windows Anaconda install. It was a default install. Install finished. No changes to configuration. First action after install was select IPython menu item in start menu.
Now, trust me, I have tried everything. I have tried installing IPython from pip over top my python2.7 installation, anaconda etc. No matter how I install it ends up with the same problem. I even tried 32bit installs etc.
It doesn't appear to be the browser as both IE and Chrome see the same mangled display.
It is almost like the css files are not being picked up or are not there at all.
I opted to allow the installation of the Anaconda to update my environment variables etc. so the dang blasted thing should be finding where it has put itself.
What is the likely cause? What is the fix please?
I did have a very similar issue on Windows recently. Some program has overwritten your mime type associations. For me it was Inkscape killing SVG by setting the mime type to application/svg.
Try this on terminal:
import mimetypes
mimetypes.guess('file.css')
You should get text/css. If you get application/css this is most likely your problem. My solution: Change back the mime type association. Start regedit and search for application/css in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Replace it with text/css.
Please refer to this https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/7024 for further reference.
For that tool i used glade -3 to build windows in linux and imported inside code using gtk builder, now want to port this tool to windows xp what is best way ?
thanks in advance :)
Install the GTK-all-in-one bundle available on gtk.org. Installation procedure ins included in the README file contained in the bundle. Then, install MinGW on your Windows platform, and use mingw-get (the package management tool), to install msys (a shell). For a 64-bits build, you may use MinGW-64 (which is a fork of MinGW). You then will have a platform for developing on Windows.
I personally used that platform with CMake to successfully build some code sample. Read my answer on How do I link gtk library more easily with cmake in windows? for a CMake + GTK code sample.
I am using the plugin "plugin builder" to generate a template. The plugin builder is also generating a make file. I am working on a computer using windows 7 and am trying to execute the make file using the command line of Windows (MS Dos). However, this doesen't work. This means that my *.ui and my *.qrc file are not compiled to python, if I understand correctly.
What can I do? I am not very familiar with pc or programming so I hope to finde someone who can give me an easy understandable answer. Thank you.
Run the code in the osgeo4w Shell
And follow the steps in here:
http://www.qgisworkshop.org/html/workshop/plugins_tutorial.html
If the osgeo4w shell doesn't work copy the qtcore4.dll and qtgui4.dll to the windows system directory first

'make', works in linux by default as it is part of its build system. For windows, you could try downloading GNU Make Setup from below link
GNU make link
afterwards, you should be able to run 'make' from your dos prompt
I have created an application in linux with GTK2 as GUI. It uses some linux-specific headers (e.g. arpa/inet.h) so to run under Windows I have to compile it with Cygwin. I downloaded the latest installer and choose to install GTK2 and its dependencies. My program compiled fine. But it needs X server to be running! I has old-style, ugly graphics and it doesn't open in a different window, like all Windows' applications do, but inside X server's window. Because of this it can't be portable. I found that guide, which is exactly what I need, but I get an error when I run "make" for GTK2 (undefined reference for _IID_IFilePersist, although I have uuid installed - also tried it with gtk2.20). Can you suggest what to do to build my application with cygwin? Or what do I need to install for the "_IID_IFilePersist" error? Thanks in advance!
There's prebuilt packages for windows that doesn't rely on X. http://gtk-win.sourceforge.net/home/index.php/Downloads
If you don't want X server to be running, then you're going to have to port the linux-specific parts of your code and compile with MinGW rather than Cygwin.
