GTK+ externals are unresolved

GTK+ externals are unresolved

[M.O.D.]

When I compile a GTK+ application in Cygwin, all the GTK externals are 
unresolved.  Output from pkg-config and the /usr/lib directory look fine, and 
are included below along with the linkage errors and the source program.

I downloaded and installed Cygwin last week.

I have compiled and run this little program on Slackware without any problem.

Why are the GTK externals going unresolved on Cygwin?

Thanks,
   Ollie

Does it work if you move the libraries after the source files?
Something like this:

  $ cc `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0` murg.c `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0` -o murg

Perhaps you're missing the file 'libgtk-x11-2.0.la' (it should be in /lib/).
Try linking to 'libgtk-x11-2.0.dll.a' temporarily.  If that works, you might
need to re-install gtk2-x11-devel.  Maybe part of it has gone missing.

That could be the "problem".

gtk2-x11* (Cygwin official) is from 2005 and does in no way comply to
modern GTK+ API standards.
The only way out might be a 2.1x version, which is only available on
Cygwin Ports ( http://sourceware.org/cygwinports )

The order of libs is wrong for $(pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0)

-lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 should be at the end.

$ pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 
-lpangoxft-1.0 -lXft -lfreetype -lz -lXrender -lXext -lfontconfig 
-lpangox-1.0 -lX11 -lpango-1.0 -lm -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 
-lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv

=>

-L/usr/X11R6/lib -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangoxft-1.0 -lXft 
-lfreetype -lXrender -lXext -lfontconfig -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0 
-lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -lgtk-x11-2.0 
-lX11 -lz -lintl -liconv

With that linker line it works okay.
But I don't know how pkgconfig should be patched to resolve the required 
pkg's recursively into the other direction.

Windows need the libs in the correct order, i.e. backwards.

No, this is correct.

No, the order is as with --as-needed on Linux, and in this case, where
all those libs are shared, the order doesn't matter at all as long as
they come after the object files which require them.

I tend to disagree.
With the original order:
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 
-lpangoxft-1.0 -lXft -lfreetype -lz -lXrender -lXext -lfontconfig 
-lpangox-1.0 -lX11 -lpango-1.0 -lm -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 
-lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv

it fails to link, and with the reverse order of requires it works okay.

-L/usr/X11R6/lib -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangoxft-1.0 -lXft 
-lfreetype -lXrender -lXext -lfontconfig -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0 
-lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lX11 
-lz -lintl -liconv

The windows linker doesn't allow unresolved symbols at linktime, the 
linux linker does.

Once again, these are all shared libraries, in which case the order
among them does NOT matter.  But if any of them were static, then this
top-down order is correct.

Obviously something else is the matter.  Are you mixing versions between
Ports and the distro, or even some self-built packages?  Where is the
- -L/usr/X11R6/lib coming from?

You're wrong, libraries shared or static are dealt the same way by the
compiler which looks for its list of unresolved symbols and doesn't
re-scan libraries when another symbol appears.

Since I apparently didn't make myself clear the last two times, let me
say it again.  If libfoo is a shared library, and libbar is another
shared library that depends on libfoo (and on Cygwin is, by definition,
already linked against it), it does NOT matter if you do this:

gcc -o baz.exe baz.o -lbar -lfoo

or this:

gcc -o baz.exe baz.o -lfoo -lbar

Now if we link with -static, then of course it needs to be before -lfoo,
just like baz.o which depends on libbar needs to be before -lbar.

But that's not the case here; all the GNOME libraries are shared, and
pkg-config's order is ultimately correct.

Bottom line: this linking order discussion is a red herring.  My
suspicion is that there is a mixing of the versions provided by the
distro and Ports.

Anyway, it compiles with my fixed order and gives the unresolved symbols 
with the original $(pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0) order of libs.
Please try it our yourself.

The order of libs is wrong for $(pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0)

-lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 should be at the end.

$ pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 
-lpangoxft-1.0 -lXft -lfreetype -lz -lXrender -lXext -lfontconfig 
-lpangox-1.0 -lX11 -lpango-1.0 -lm -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 
-lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv

=>

-L/usr/X11R6/lib -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangoxft-1.0 -lXft 
-lfreetype -lXrender -lXext -lfontconfig -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0 
-lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -lgtk-x11-2.0 
-lX11 -lz -lintl -liconv

With that linker line it works okay.
But I don't know how pkgconfig should be patched to resolve the required

Listen, I've been building GNOME for years now.  pkg-config's output is
correct and it works, and I've already explained why.  I've already
stated what I think the problem really is, have you looked at that?

Thanks for your comments, Yaakov.  As you suspected, the order of the link
libraries made no difference.

I downloaded all of Cygwin at one time, in about an hour.  I have not done
anything I know of that would mix versions.  If there is some kind of library
mismatch, I have no idea what to do about it.  I am going to run setup again
today, in order to download whatever updates have become available since I first
installed a couple of weeks ago.

Any other recommendations?

Thanks,
   Ollie

First, make sure that your -devel packages are installed properly:

pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0

Second, as mentioned earlier, the libs must follow the object files, IOW:

gcc -o murg murg.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0`

(The placement of the cflags doesn't matter; only the libs.  Doing it
like this makes for only one pkg-config call instead of two.)

You're simple test case doesn't appear to use any new APIs, so that
should work.

This worked, and it sounded so similar to what Greg Chicares recommended 
earlier that I went back to his message and rearranged the command again as he 
described, and that also worked this time.  I don't know how I dorked that up 
the first time.  I'm probably too scatter-brained to work with this kind of 
language, where any random typo that most humans wouldn't even notice sends the 
computer off to a strange place.  But it's intriguing stuff, so I'm going to 
try to get a few widgets to work.

Thanks Yaakov -- and to Greg as well.
