I am trying to compile chromium source on ubuntu 10.10. But I get this "gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.h: No such file or directory" error. Can you please tell how can I fix it? I have the '/usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkpixbuf.h', so I should have gdkpixbuf dev package right? (since it said '/usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkpixbuf.h:37: fatal error: gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.h: No such file or directory'

$ make out/Debug/chrome
  CXX(target) out/Debug/obj.target/app_base/app/active_window_watcher_x.o
In file included from /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkcairo.h:28,

                 from app/active_window_watcher_x.cc:6:

There's a generic “teach a man to fish…” answer here, too:

Install the apt-file package, and use it to search for the package containing the file you need. In this case, you get:


└─(14:36:%)── apt-file search gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.h
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev: /usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.h
libgfcui-dev: /usr/include/gfc-2.0/gfc/gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.hh
lsb-build-desktop3: /usr/include/lsb3/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.h

which has (surprisingly) returned more than one result. libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev is the package you're after.

I have both of the referenced packages installed and have had similar issues. In 10.10 it seems that the gdk-pixbuf includes are stored in their own directory off of /usr/include, whereas in previous versions they had been lumped in with gtk-2.0. If you have installed libgtk2.0-dev and libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev then you'll need to execute:

sudo ln -s /usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf

This will create a symbolic link to the new gdk-pixbuf directory where it had been located previously.

  • This is the only solution that worked for me. It seems like a distribution bug in 10.10. Merely installing libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev did not fix the problem.

You have gdkpixbuf.h, which is not the same as gdk-pixbuf.h. Note the dash, they are two different files.

greyfade is probably correct in you needing that package greyfade mentions, you should probably install libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev as well since gdk-pixbuf.h is in the libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev package.

Doing an "aptitude build-dep chromium-browser" should download all of the development packages you need to manually install the chromium-browser source package for 10.10. It should help even if you're pulling straight from chromium itself - you're going to need those development files anyhow.

Of course, please install libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev first:

sudo apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev

Then:

sudo ln -s /usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf

  • I think it is just a bug of 10.10, 11.04+ will not happen this error.

From the GTK+ Reference Manual you should tell the compiler where to find the GTK+ header files and libraries. This is done with the pkg-config utility. 

$ pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0

Or to use the "backticks" feature of the shell.

$ cc `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` hello.c -o hello

Install libgtk2.0-dev.

Copy the folder gdk-pixbuf from /usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 to /usr/include/gtk-2.0. That did the trick for me.
