Perl Gtk2::FileChooserDialog

[Shura]

Hi,

I tried to use Gtk2::FileChooserDialog and found it does not work. Even examples.

I get example from here: http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/doc/gtk2-perl-study-guide/c5499.html#AEN5561 and that does not work. No any errors, no any symptoms. Program just freezes, only Ctrl+C helps.

perl v5.10.1
p5-Gtk2-1.221_3

please help.

Use the perl debugger to see what's going on.

Thank you, but I don't understand ho to use it.
Step by step I go to the following line:

my $file_chooser =  Gtk2::FileChooserDialog->new (
                             $heading,
                             $window,
                             $type,
                         );

After it debugger does not response on any commands.

Ok, then the problem is most likely in the Gtk2::FileChooserDialog module. How did you install that?

 

[Shura]

From ports:
$ cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/p5-Gtk2; make install clean

 

[SirDice]

Is $window set correctly?

 

[Shura]

Yes, also I tried unset, nothing changed.

 

[SirDice]

Are you sure it does nothing? As far as I understood it Gtk2::FileChooserDialog can take a long time to present itself.

 

[Shura]

He he, I waited for about 40 minutes (I went to dinner) and nothing appeared.

Could you please check this example on your PC?

 

[Shura]

I just tried script on Ubuntu, it works.
What wrong with FreeBSD?

 

[qsecofr]

man perldebtut
man perldebug
perl -d ~your/script.pl

A minimum of time spent learning its use can yield much IMO. Just step right in ..

Program freezes on string

my $file_chooser =  Gtk2::FileChooserDialog->new (
                             $heading,
                             $window,
                             $type,
                         );

This command does not return prompt. What can I do?
Please check does p5-Gtk2-1.221_3 work right on your PC. Maybe package is wrong.
