Gtk, massive warnings from gobject?

[Andreas Lobinger]

Hello colleagues,

i didn't use it for some time, so i updated julia to 0.2.0+15 and rebuild my package directory.

Any idea? Version missmatch?

Wishing a happy day,

Which version of glib is on your system?

[Andreas Lobinger]

looks like
 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so
2
32
4

[Jameson Nash]

Thanks, it's fixed now. I had been doing all my recent testing with a
newer version of glib.

[Andreas Lobinger]

Well, i get now no complaints with using Gtk and i get a window with w = Gtk.Window("title",x,y).

But now:

julia> canvas = Gtk.Canvas(Gtk.Window("GraphViz"),512,512)
ERROR: no method GtkCanvas(GtkWindow,Int32,Int32)

btw: I feel bad about broadcasting error questions on julia-users, shall i move to the git,issues of Gtk.jl?

[Stefan Karpinski]

That's probably a better venue since you know it's a problem with a specific package.

[Jameson Nash]

Every Gtk object is a container of its child elements and an associative mapping to its properties. This differs from Tk, where every object is a leaf node and properties have separate accessors. So the error is saying that you can't put a window in a canvas. Open an issue that I need to start writing the documentation.
