Dear,

I tried the latest gtkd release and it try to open dynamically libgtksourceview-4.so.0 however  I have only libgtksourceview-3.so.1

so which version should I used to be compatible with libgtksourceview-3 (I use centos 7)

Code:

$ ldc2 container_014_10_notebook_basic.d -I=$LDC2_ROOT/include/d/gtkd-3 -L=-lgtk-3 -L=-latk-1.0 -L=-lgtkd-3 -L=-lgtkdgl-3 -L=-lgtkdsv-3 -of container
$ ./container
object.Exception@generated/gtkd/gtkd/Loader.d(125): Library load failed (libgtksourceview-4.so.0): libgtksourceview-4.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

On Windows, I had to change a line in C:\D\dmd2\src\sourceview\gsv\c\functions.d from:

	static immutable LIBRARY_GSV = ["libgtksourceview-4.0.dll"];

to:

	static immutable LIBRARY_GSV = ["libgtksourceview-3.0-1.dll"];


Assuming the sourceview/gsv/c/functions.d exists on Linux as well, a similar change should help.

However, you will also, very likely, have to look for a folder in generated/ called:

"sourceview"

and copy it and its contents to:

dmd2/src/

And I have no idea where you'll find the dmd2/src/ folder on Linux. But, assuming you can find it, this may get you up and running.

Let me know how it goes.

When Mike Wey gets back in town (any day now) he should be able to provide a solution that's less of a kludge.

GtkSourceview was updated to 4.x in GtkD version 3.9.0, so any older version should work with GtkSourceview 3.

If you need Sourceview 3 in the newer version of GtkD you could replace `file: GtkSource-4.gir` with `file: GtkSource-3.0.gir` in `src/APILookupSourceView.txt` and then run `make generate` (requires girtod) and you should have a up to date binding for Sourceview 3.

Welcome back, Mike...

The latest Windows runtime available on the GtkD downloads page installs libgtksourceview-3.0-1.dll, not the 4.0 version, so I suspect the Linux libraries may be out of step, too.

Just for the record, this doesn't work on Windows. I made the change in APILookupSourceView.txt and re-ran Build.d, but sourceview/gsv/c/functions.d still shows:

version (Windows)
	static immutable LIBRARY_GSV = ["libgtksourceview-4-0.dll"];
else version (OSX)
	static immutable LIBRARY_GSV = ["libgtksourceview-4.0.dylib"];
else
	static immutable LIBRARY_GSV = ["libgtksourceview-4.so.0"];

Thanks.

The installer could use an update, Sourceview 4 is available for windows.

For windows there isn't an easy command to regenerate the source, but running this command should work (Its been a while since i tried it on windows):

---
girtod -i src --use-runtime-linker --use-bind-dir
---

Thanks a lot Mike and Ron for your help.

Have a nice day

Hmmm... I'll need more information, I'm afraid. I Googled, but I'm not finding any instructions for building these DLLs.

girtod can be found here: https://github.com/gtkd-developers/gir-to-d

It's a tool that generates a D Binding from GObject Introspection files, if you use the GTK installer from the gtkd website or msys2 the needed introspection (.gir) files should be installed on your system.

Running the command above in the root of the GtkD project, will regenerate the source based on the gir files found on your system.

The last two options passed to girtod are for backwards compatibility with older version of GtkD, and aren't needed for new bindings.

And technically you could also run: "girtod -i GSource-3.0.gir" and it will create a "out" directory with a GtkSourceview binding that should be fairly complete.

Okay, thanks, Mike. I'll try to set aside some time next week to dig into this.
