gladevcp catalog, and other questions was created by JetForMe

After a fair bit of pain getting Glade 3.8 installed so I can edit GladeVCP plugins (I don't remember having this much trouble on my actual machine, but on this uspace simulator, it was a lot of work), it's running into an issue finding the gladvcp catalog:

Failed to load /home/rmann/linuxcnc/configs/sim/axis/gladevcp/manual-example.ui.
The following required catalogs are unavailable: gladevcp"

I've been searching through the sources, but I can't find anything that looks like a catalog file.

Despite running sudo make install after building glade3.8, it didn't work to execute it from there. It does work to execute it from my local source dir. Given that, where should I put the catalog file(s) once I find them?

Also, is there a difference between .ui and .glade files?

Try with www.linuxcnc.org/dists/buster/base/binar...k2_3.8.6-1_amd64.deb if you are using Buster
and: forum.linuxcnc.org/gmoccapy/45856-spindl...capy?start=10#258756

.ui and .glade files are the same AFAIK.

Alas, I'm on aarch64 (Debian 11 on ARM, my M1 Mac). I tried copying the lib/python/gladvcp contents to `pkg-config --variable=catalogdir gladeui-1.0` (/usr/local/share/glade3/catalogs), but it still can't find the catalog. I don't see anything in that directory that looks like a "gladvcp" catalog.

Actually, it's a little better. It no longer gives me the error about not finding the gladevcp catalog, but things still don't show up properly. Now it can't find the 'gladepython', and I'm not sure where to find that.

I'm also having trouble with gtksourceview. I've got the catalog there, but I think I have v3 & v4 installed, not v2. Gonna try to find sources for that.

Aaaand, that was a colossal fail. The gtksourceview 2.91.9 (latest v2) configure script can't figure out the target tuple, so I gave it some help. Then it tried to compile source that fails because my system has GTK+3 headers installed.

As you was talking about Glade 3.8 I was assuming you would like to have the catalogs for LinuxCNC 2.8 / Gtk2.
For LinuxCNC 2.9 you need Glade 3.22.

Oh really? That’s great! But what I understand is that v3.8 was the last one that could work with gtk2, and it seemed like Axis and VCP still used GTK+2. If that’s not the case I need to amend my other post.

That's correct if you are talking about the latest released version, 2.8.
But 2.9 is using Python3/Gtk3 and will be released soon.

When I look at configs/sim/axis/gladevcp/manual-example.ui, it shows at the top

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<interface>
<!-- interface-requires gladevcp 0.0 -->
<requires lib="gtk+" version="2.16"/>
...


Isn't version 2.16 GTK+2, which would need Glade 3.8 (or earlier) to examine?

Also, can I use Glade 3.40?
