How to setup Gtk2 for perl in Ubuntu 9.04
You will need the following packages
sudo apt-get install build-essential sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev libpango1.0-dev
Now run cpan
sudo cpan
Install the following in order
install ExtUtils::Depends install ExtUtils::PkgConfig install Glib instal Pango install Gtk2
And now you done, you can test it with the following script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Gtk2 -init;
my $window = Gtk2::Window->new ('toplevel');
my $button = Gtk2::Button->new ('Quit');
$button->signal_connect (clicked => sub { Gtk2->main_quit });
$window->add ($button);
$window->show_all;
Gtk2->main;
To run it save the script as gtk-test.pl and run
perl gtk-test.pl
from the command line.
A small window should open, with a Quit button inside.
