[fpc-devel] I can not build Lazarus with gtk2

[J. Peter Mugaas]

I was compiling Lazarus with gtk2 (I have gtk2.8.17)  in Linux and I got the following errors when linking:
-===
/usr/lib/fpc/2.1.1/units/i386-linux/gtk2/gtk2.o: In function `GTK2_GTK_TYPE_FILE_CHOOSER_DEFAULT$$LONGWORD':
gtk2.pas:(.text+0xb9b1): undefined reference to `_gtk_file_chooser_default_get_type'
/usr/lib/fpc/2.1.1/units/i386-linux/gtk2/gtk2.o: In function `GTK2_GTK_TYPE_FILE_CHOOSER_EMBED$$LONGWORD':

lazarus.pp(113,1) Error: Error while linking

I did look further and I found that I did not have the following files in my /usr/include directory:

gtkfilechooserembed.h
gtkfilechooserentry.h
gtkfilechooserdefault.h

The only place I have them is in my "/src/debug/gtk+-2.8.18/gtk/" directory.  I suspect that gtk2 does NOT expose those functions at all.  The corresponding .pas files are probably there just in case the gtk developers expose those symbols.
