Building virt-viewer on CentOS failed

Question

When I have attempted to build virt-viewer 0.2.x on CentOS, I had a build problem:

virt_viewer-viewer.o: In function `viewer_resize_main_window':
/root/virt/virt-viewer-0.2.0/src/viewer.c:285: undefined reference to `gtk_widget_get_window'
/root/virt/virt-viewer-0.2.0/src/viewer.c:286: undefined reference to `gtk_widget_get_window'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [virt-viewer] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/virt/virt-viewer-0.2.0/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/virt/virt-viewer-0.2.0'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I've unsuccessfully studied many Google-related sources. What can I do?

Try installing following packages using :

$ yum install gtk+-devel
$ yum install xulrunner-devel

I try it, but these packages already installed – Andrew Shelikhanow Feb 23 '11 at 21:30
Rebuilt attempt with make clean then ./configure will no effect – Andrew Shelikhanow Feb 23 '11 at 21:31
Try the second one. Have you already installed xulrunner-devel? Also, you tried gtk+-devel, not just gtk+, right? – Sagar Feb 23 '11 at 21:34
Already installed – Andrew Shelikhanow Feb 23 '11 at 21:34

I've all tries about your suggestions – Andrew Shelikhanow Feb 23 '11 at 21:37
all packages - gtk+* is already installed – Andrew Shelikhanow Feb 23 '11 at 21:39
Hmm. I'm at a loss then. If I find anything I'll post here. – Sagar Feb 23 '11 at 21:40

any options or actons? – Andrew Shelikhanow Feb 23 '11 at 21:49
without options - further build is unsuccessful – Andrew Shelikhanow Feb 23 '11 at 21:50

I was able to get this to compile under CentOS 5.5 but I downloaded version 0.3.1 which is the latest release. I had to comment out line 135 in src/display-vnc.c:

/* gdk_window_beep(GTK_WIDGET(viewer->window)->window); */

or you get:

make[2]: Entering directory `/root/virt-viewer-0.3.1/src'
  CC     virt_viewer-display-vnc.o
display-vnc.c: In function ‘viewer_bell’:
display-vnc.c:135: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘gtk_window_beep’
display-vnc.c:135: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘gtk_window_beep’
  CCLD   virt-viewer
virt_viewer-display-vnc.o: In function `viewer_bell':

This gave me a working virt-viewer, but I have no way to test this:

# src/virt-viewer -V
virt-viewer version 0.3.1

This and this seem very relevant. Hope this helps.

Announcement on the 0.3.1 release.

Also, I had to install libglade2-devel and some other devel packages using yum from the standard CentOS repo. – timd Feb 23 '11 at 23:42
I did it, build successful – Andrew Shelikhanow Feb 25 '11 at 09:24
But, when I click on VM and go ti's properties, I've received run-time error: Traceback (most recent call last): ... File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/VirtualVideoDevice.py", line 33, in __init__ parsexml, parsexmlnode, caps) TypeError: __init__() takes at most 2 arguments (5 given) Please assist, how to solve this problem? – Andrew Shelikhanow Feb 25 '11 at 09:25
