I installed DevEx as you suggested at first, just to get a feel for the general situation. I found that since I am using GCC 3.2, instead of 2.95, I cannot use "-fnative-struct" as is very commonly recommended (and which was present in your .dev) and which is required according to both GTK+ documentation and library error message, but must substitute "-mms-bitfields". Once the latter was done, it compiled and now runs perfectly. (GCC 3.2 is essential for modern CPU optimizations.)
I must admit, the widget set in my binary is not really up to the par I want to set from the beginning. Most of all, it's using what I recognize as vanilla bargain-basement X11 scrollbars. Is Glade code generation limited to such? If so, I'll immediately go in search of a different widget set, and use simply Cheetah as my widget interface model. By the way, the tentative name for my little project is "Heaven's Book", or HB for short. I am interested to see if God blesses this project. If He does, I will be very happy about it. (If He does not, I will suddenly find that my time and/or energy is choked.) He has given me some programming skill, but at least in the past, little permission to use it. I noticed that Cheetah loads VERY fast, and this is what I believe is missing now: small, sleek, speedy, yet very function-laden Bible software. I want something that will run well on stripped-down Linux or Win95 on a 486, and correspondingly faster on faster systems. CPU optimization is a method mostly being ignored today, and I mean to exploit it, along with the KISS principle. -- Jonathan E. Brickman http://joshuacorps.org Live forever.
