 Hi, 
I am trying to install GTK+ 1.2.8 onto a device. 
But I believe something is missing. 
The device runs a simplied Linux (2.2.14) kernel. 
As it has limited memory with only the OS and some basic library, like X, 
installed. I decided to install all my extended libraries and applications on a 
compact flash memory. It can be mounted to /root as a new directory (such 
as /xxx). 
The device has no compiler, so I have to 
 
(1) compile all the source code (both library and 
applications) on a desktop PC running Linux 2.2.14,  
(2) install everything into /xxx (in the PC), 
 
(3) copy the content in /xxx to the compact 
flash memory,  
(4) mount the compact flash memory as /xxx to 
the device's /root,  
(5) run ldconfig (/etc/ld.so.conf 
modified) 
(6) start my application and hope it can 
work! 
This the basic idea. I believe it is right. Because 
so far all my applications requiring X library work. But Something wrong with my 
first application requiring GTK+, "gedit". It seems something is missing. I 
don't know much about gtk+, I just followed the instruction to 
install. 
I compiled glib 1.2.8 and gtk+ 1.2.8 on a desktop 
running Linux 2.2.14, and installed all of them into /xxx. I believe I did it 
right. I changed "DESTDIR =" in all "Makefile.in" into "DESTDIR = /xxx". The old 
glib and gtk were deleted before that. Then I 
compiled gedit 0.5.4 after I created some links in /usr/... to the gtk+/glib 
header files in /xxx. Install gedit into /xxx by modifying all "DESTDIR". 
Finally, gedit can run on the PC with a warning. 
After I copied the content of /xxx into the compact 
flash memory, mounted to the device, run ldconfig, and run gedit. It gave 
me a lot of warning and errors listed below. I guess I need to install some 
additional files. But I could not find in www.gtk.org, 
Warning: 
1. Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C 
library 
Errors: 
1. Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkbox.c: line 332 
(gtk_box_pack_start): assertion 'child->parent == NULL'  
failed. 
2. Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gdkfont.c: line 248 
(gdk_font_id): assertion 'font != NULL'  failed. 
3. ... tens of assertion 'font != NULL' failed, all 
in gdkfont.c, before the application finally aborted. 
Please tell me where I can find infomation about 
those missing fonts, how to install, and anything else I will miss if I install 
in such a way. 
Best Regards,
