gnupic: Thread: gpsim without gui :-(

I know work is being done to get gpsim to build on upto date gtk+,
so in the mean time I thought I would use it from the command line.

>From the INSTALL file....

2.0 HOW TO BUILD gpsim WITHOUT THE GUI
    ----------------------------------

Repeat steps 1,2, and 3 from above.

4) ./configure --disable-gui

However.....


configure: error: Cannot find glib-config: glib is needed even for
non-gui version.

This is rather annoying if the reason you are building it without the
GUI is because of the dependency on out of date gtk+

So I'm still stuck :-(

The code in CVS compiles and runs with gtk versions 1.2 through 2.0.

Glib is something else then GTK+, so if you say --disable-gui, it means that
GTK+ is not needed, but glib is still required.

If you don't have glib on your system, you can just link
plat/win32/glist.cpp:
the only functionality needed from the glib library for the command line
mode
is slist (Singly-Linked Lists), which is implemented in
plat/win32/glist.cpp.
You still need glib header files, you have to remove checking for
glib from configure.in and you have to modify Makefile.in, so this probably
won't help you much...

But this is how it is done for WIN32 cli-only mode.

Thanks.  I fixed it on my system now and it all built OK (after
I installed the readline development package as well).
