AIX Open Source Packages

Description

GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable for projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application suites.

The library is available as 32-bit and 64-bit:

If you are compiling a 32-bit program, no special compiler options are needed.
If you are compiling a 64-bit program, you have to compile and link your application with "xlc_r -q64" or "gcc -maix64".

Please note:

gtk2 is now not dependent on gettext >= 0.17 anymore!
The core dumps caused by the '%post' and '%postun' scripts should not occur anymore.

Please note:

If your gtk2-based applications show the character IDs instead of the actual characters then you need to adjust your X11 fonts setup, please scroll further down for details.
The reason for this is that gtk2 - actually fontconfig - can not find any proper fonts.
In order to make it work with the default configuration of fontconfig you need to at least install the fileset X11.fnt.iso_T1.
Alternatively, you can also add a local /opt/freeware/etc/fonts/local.conf file and list the directories containing fonts. An example for that is listed below.
Recommended would be to install urw-fonts and add /opt/freeware/share/fonts/default/Type1 to the list of fonts above.
If you have ghostscript-fonts installed you could also add /opt/freeware/share/fonts/default/ghostscript/fonts to the list of fonts above.
For details please look at the screen shots below.

Before (fileset X11.fnt.iso_T1 not installed), not working:

root@aix51:/opt/freeware/etc/fonts> lslpp -l | grep X11.fnt
  X11.fnt.coreX              5.1.0.0  COMMITTED  AIXwindows X Consortium Fonts
  X11.fnt.defaultFonts       5.1.0.0  COMMITTED  AIXwindows Default Fonts
  X11.fnt.iso1              5.1.0.25  COMMITTED  AIXwindows Latin 1 Fonts

Wrong behavior, gtk2 (actually fontconfig) can not find any proper fonts:

Afterwards (fileset X11.fnt.iso_T1 installed), working:

root@aix51:/opt/freeware/etc/fonts> lslpp -l | grep X11.fnt
  X11.fnt.coreX              5.1.0.0  COMMITTED  AIXwindows X Consortium Fonts
  X11.fnt.defaultFonts       5.1.0.0  COMMITTED  AIXwindows Default Fonts
  X11.fnt.iso1              5.1.0.25  COMMITTED  AIXwindows Latin 1 Fonts
  X11.fnt.iso_T1             5.1.0.0  COMMITTED  AIXwindows Latin Type1 Fonts

Correct gtk2 behavior, gtk2 (actually fontconfig) can find some decent fonts:

This is my /opt/freeware/etc/fonts/local.conf file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- /opt/freeware/etc/fonts/local.conf file for local customizations -->
<fontconfig>

<!-- Font directory list -->

        <dir>/opt/freeware/share/fonts/default/Type1</dir>
        <dir>/opt/freeware/share/fonts/default/ghostscript/fonts</dir>
        <dir>/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1</dir>
        <dir>~/.fonts</dir>

</fontconfig>
