I'm in trouble with gtk version i think. When i run pkg-config --modversion gtk+-3.0 in my Raspberry Pi that is running Raspbian OS, i get 3.14.5 version.

If i try to update with sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade, i have the same version.

How i can update to gtk+-3.20 version that is the latest stable version?

Thanks

To do that you'll need to download the latest Gtk source code and have it compiled on the PI. Note that to build Gtk you'll have dependencies which need to be updated also. The latest stable release is Gtk+ 3.22 and you can check the repository on Github. The official repository should be on git.gnome.org which is down atm.

  • As I said, Gtk+ has dependencies, pango, cairo are immediate ones but there are more. You shouldn't remove the actual Gtk version or your PI will, probably, stop working. Gtk is a framework, GLib, DBus etc are also required. It's a huge task just on the framework itself. I would suggest you to keep both versions running. 3.14.5 used on the PI and the new one for your developing/testing purposes.

After many hours trying resolve the problem, i change the path of LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/local/lib and resolve the problem. This selects the last gtk+ version installed.

You can run LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD-LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
