[Gambas-devel] API declaration error 1.9.8

[Daniel Campos]

Hi Benoît:

The GTK+-2.0 library in current systems is called:

"libgtk-x11-2.0.so" and "libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0" at /usr/lib

Well, I didn't found a way to declare this function in Gambas, as it seems
to add extensions ".so", ".so.0" where it wants, for example:

LIBRARY "libgtk-x11-2.0"

EXTERN gtk_init(Argc As Pointer,Argv As Pointer)
...
gtk_init(0,0)

Error: Can not find dynamic library "libgtk-x11-2.so.0"

Or:

LIBRARY "libgtk-x11-2.0.so"

Error: Can not find dynamic library "libgtk-x11-2.0.so.so"

Or:

LIBRARY "libgtk-x11-2"

Error: Can not find dynamic library "libgtk-x11-2.so"


Couldn't you test if the "literal" name of the library exists in the 
PATH before changing
and adding extensions, or may be add any symbol to specify you want that 
"literal" name
instead of changing it? It is very confusing...

The same problem happens to Glib, and GObject.
