Gnope PHP-Gtk2.dll version 2006-03-22

[cweiske]

There is a new version, see http://www.gnope.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=796

Hello all,

For all those people that don't want to wait until the new Gnope version is out: You can have the new php-gtk2.dll by simply installing a Gnope package now!

The package is "Gnope_PHPGtk2_dll" and can be found at
http://gnope.org/pearfront/index.php?package=Gnope_PHPGtk2_dll

BEFORE INSTALLATION, you have to fix a setting in PEAR that is wrong due to a bug in the PEAR installer.
- Open a console (start/execute: "cmd")
- Type "pear config-get ext_dir"
- You will see something like "./ext/" - that setting is wrong!
- Remember the path you installed Gnope to, and add "\ext" to it. E.g. if you used the default path of "C:\PHP-Gtk2", the new ext_dir is "C:\PHP-Gtk2\ext"
- Type "pear config-set ext_dir C:\PHP-Gtk2\ext"

Further, you need to upgrade PEAR to the latest version (e.g. with the PEAR Frontend in the start menu).


Now the pear setup is fixed to install the new php-gtk2.dll.
To install it:
- (Again) due to a missing feature in PEAR, you can't install the new dll just over the old one. That means that you need to do one of this variations:
a) Disable the php-gtk2 extension in your php.ini, install the package and then re-enable it.
b) Delete php-gtk2.dll, and then install the package

Version a) would be the safest:
- Open C:\PHP-Gtk2\php.ini in an editor, e.g. notepad
- Search for "gtk"
- Continue searching
- The line you see is

Hello Christian,

version b) won't work, because pear uses php.ini and crashes when
pear install gnope/Gnope_PHPGtk2_dll is executed and the php-gtk2.dll was deleted before.

And another thing:
"pear install gnope/Gnope_PHPGtk2_dll" won't work, while preferred_state isn't set to alpha by "pear config-set preferred_state alpha".

You have to install it by typing in:
"pear install channel://gnope.org/Gnope_PHPGtk2_dll-1.1.0"

And at last:
after installing the package, the installer says "You should add "extension=php_gtk_libglade2.dll" to php.ini", but this package does not install this file

But after doing all the other things described before, it works fine

Never mind, that was a temporary issue (load too high on servers?)

Unfortunately, this build doesn't include the GtkIconView::get_selected_items() patch.

Dang, and I wanted to use it.. Oh well, gotta wait for the next release, I suppose.

Hi Christian,

I was getting a memory error if I do a sequence of things (like clicking on tabs in a workbook) then exit the program.
With the new DLL that seems to have fixed it, whoopeeee!

Hope it stays this way now as creating a block of code to re-create the error is going to be tricky at best.

I don't mind if the memory error is because of some new piece of code that breaks a rule.
It is when you add a new button via the glade design tool and you get a memory error, that's the frustrating bit.

Regards

Rob,

Since the first release of Gnope, many things have changed, and given that there is not even a beta out, it's fairly stable.
