gst-browser on FreeBSD

Hi,

I wanted to test the new gst-browser in 3.2, but starting fails with the
following error:

-> gst-browser

I didn't find any GTK packages coming with the installation, maybe the
port for FreeBSD is incomplete ...?

Cheers,

Re: gst-browser on FreeBSD

I think this error is because you compile GNU Smalltalk without the
development packages (header files) for GTK+. Remove Smalltalk, install
the header files of GTK+, and compile and install Smalltalk again. Hope
this help.

Yes, the FreeBSD port installs smalltalk without GTK support (because
the combination was broken). This has been the default setup for over 6
years now. I'm not sure how bad it is these days. If you want to test it
with GTK support, then add "gtk20" to the USE_GNOME line and remove the
"--disable-gtk" line in the port's Makefile, before compiling and
installing again. Please let me know if this works for you and what
system you use (FreeBSD version and architecture).

Best regards,
Johan van Selst
