I could compile symbol browser in OpenSUSE. How can I do to make a binary package ?

Comment on GTK+ and Glade3 GUI Programming Tutorial - Part 3 by Frank

This is a bit old, but I'm aswering the compile error that Ian mentions far up on the page:

When you get this error while compiling:

gtk_widget_show: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget

Look at the line GTK_WIDGET in main.c. In this tutorial, the line should be:

window = GTK_WIDGET (gtk_builder_get_object (builder, "window"));

The last "window" being the name of the "main" window object in Glade.

Yah, I would REALLY like a part 4 (and part 5 etc.). I'd even pay a little for it, since this is the best I've seen of its kind :-)

This was just great.

Right up to here. It's allmost two years past, and you still have text saying "next will will look at...", but there IS not next part!? Why not either remove the text saying that more is to come, or actually write the next part?

Comment on Installing the GNU tools (avr-gcc) for AVRs by Alex

Alex — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 14:06:25 +0000

Followed your instructions and eventually got it to "work" apparently there were other things I also needed to install.

The only thing your tutorial does not mention is where to unzip the files to, if that matters?

My issue is that I already had a version install and was hoping this process would over write it. I just installed gcc 4.4.2, but when I type gcc -v is tells me it is still 4.3.2

I'm having some issues with the old version of avr-gcc, hence the upgrade

Those of you who are getting a "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in..." error.

You may need to turn on short tags in your php.ini file: short_opentag=On

Comment on GTK+ and Glade3 GUI Programming Tutorial - Part 3 by Charles Curley

Good tutorial, very useful. So far. Several things...

* I have Glade 3.6.7. In the process of setting it up I inadvertently set it to save projects as GtkBuilder rather than as Libglade (Edit-> Preferences, Ctl P). That means I don't have to run "gtk-builder-convert tutorial.glade tutorial.xml". In fact, it breaks that step. It also produces a much smaller XML file.

I adjusted the C code like so:

gtk_builder_add_from_file (builder, "tutorial.glade", NULL);

* You might use the following compile command:

gcc -Wall -g -o tutorial main.c -export-dynamic $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0)

It does exactly what yours does, but the backtick can be confusing and (as you saw) requires a lot of explanation. Also, the $() syntax can be nested.

* The possessive of "it" is "its". "It's" is the contraction for "it is".

* Where is part 4?

Comment on PHP Zip Code Range and Distance Calculation by Maryam

Maryam — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 17:53:18 +0000

Thanks, that is a great PHP script. There is just a problem, that I want to search for a

distance from a city not specific zipcode. I need the database of Us cities longitude and latitude and I couldn't find it.

I will apprecite if anybody give me a clue.

Thanks
