Compiling Giraffe library Hello World on Ubuntu

Question

I am trying to compile the GTK 3 Hello World Example from the Giraffe Library website.

I installed Poly/ML 5.9.1 from sources, set PATH for the poly executable and LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the libraries. Also, PKG_CONFIG_PATH so that the Makefile would find polyml.pc.

Now I get

$ make polyml
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/gergely/giraffe/lib/polyml:/usr/lib:/home/gergely/local/lib:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu: \
 GIRAFFE_SML_LIB=/home/gergely/giraffe/lib/sml \
 GIRAFFE_DEBUG=1 \
 /usr/bin/poly --use make-polyml-libs.sml -q
echo "PolyML.export (\"example-1-polyml.o\", main);" > polyml-export.sml
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/gergely/giraffe/lib/polyml:/usr/lib:/home/gergely/local/lib:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu: \

 /usr/bin/poly --use make-polyml-app.sml -q

How could I compile this program on my Ubuntu 22.04?

Answer 1

Beforehand on another machine I was able to compile this.

I checked and there I used Poly/ML 5.9 from sources.

Here I installed Poly/ML 5.9 from sources and then recompiled Giraffe Library and then I could compile the Hello World example.
