Title: GTK+ 2.2.3 Ethereal 0.9.15

Hi,

 

Many thanks for your help.

 

With gtk+ 2.2.4  the issue with Ethereal's menu's appearing on the wrong monitor on WinXP is resolved.

 

The only issue I have with this is that I get loads of error messages as follows;

 

Couldn't load font "-*-lucida console-medium-r-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-*-* 10" falling back to "Sans 10"

I changed the default font to Sans 10 and its gone away.

 

The only additional file I had to download was;

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-runtime-0.12.1.bin.woe32.zip

 

for intl.dll

 

Cheers

 

Giles Scott

Yes,

 

I built last night with GTK+-2.2.4 and Glib 2.2.1 on Windows 2000 with MSVC++ 6. Here is what I had to do...

 

First of all you must download all the dependency files from the gimp website...

 

http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/

 

This would include

gtk+-2.2.4.zip - Runtime libraries

gtk+-dev-2.2.4.zip - Required for compiling Ethereal

atk-1.2.4.zip - Runtime libraries

pango-1.2.5.zip - Runtime libraries

atk-dev-1.2.4.zip - Required for compiling Ethereal

pango-dev-1.1.5.zip - Required for compiling Ethereal

 

I did download the fontconfig and expat but I don't really think these are necessary.

 

I then extracted each of these to the \ethereal-win32-libs directory of my hard drive.

 

Now I wanted to use the config.nmake file as is from CVS so I had to make the following directory structure in the \ethereal-win32-libs directory

 

gtk+-dev-2.2.4.zip extacted to \ethereal-win32-libs\gtk+

glib-2.2.1.zip extracted to \ethereal-win32-libs\glib

 

Make sure that the extracted directory is the base directory not the replicated zip name... For example

\ethereal-win32-libs\pango-dev-1.2.5\ NOT \ethereal-win32-libs\pango-dev-1.2.5\pango-dev-1.2.5\

 

Several of the developer packs I had to fix this way. Attached is a directory listing of my ethereal-win32-libs directory

 

I ran in to several other issues because my environment variables. Specifically the include variable still had paths for the older 1.3 libraries. I had to edit my environment to fix the paths for the correct libraries. Really the only ones that need to be specified are the atk and pango.

 

Include variable

c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\ATL\INCLUDE;c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\mfc\INCLUDE;c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE;c:\cygwin\usr\include;c:\ethereal-win32-libs\pango-dev-1.2.5\include\pango-1.0;c:\ethereal-win32-libs\atk-dev-1.2.4\include\atk-1.0

 

Lib variable

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\mfc\lib;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\lib

 

I was finally able to build Ethereal.exe successfully but it would not execute due to required dll's.

 

I needed to copy the following files from the bin directory of the runtime libraries to the \program files\ethereal directory.

 

libatk-1.0-0.dll

libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll

intl.dll

libpango-1.0-0.dll

libpangoft2-1.0-0.dll

libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll

libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll

libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll

 

After copying over the correct dll's from the GTK+/Pango runtime libraries to the \program files\ethereal directory I kept getting an exception in libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll.

 

After a little more investigation I noticed that a DOS window would open when I executed Ethereal.exe. Pango and GTK could not find their runtime libraries. I had to copy over the lib and etc directories from the runtime libraries to the \program files\ethereal directory.

 

Now everything works. GTK+ 2.x looks pretty cool... Only thing I don't like on Windows with GTK 2.x is that you can no longer resize the summary columns. Also you do not get the lines in the decode panel (but I can live with this).

Quick question, has anyone got Ethereal to compile with the above for Win32 using MSVC++ 6

I get all sorts of nasty compile messages :-(

Cheers
