So I am trying to setup PyGObject, gtk+-3 on my system to make GUI applications. I have successfully setup JHBuild required to install these packages as mentioned here:

https://python-gtk-3-tutorial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#id2

PyGObject is successfully installed on my system.

However, while trying to setup gtk+-3, I have hit a roadblock and the setup always fails with below error:

No package 'wayland-egl' found

Error screen-shot attached here.

I have tried below but to no avail:

Whats the proper way to install Jhbuild?

Is this a known bug with Xenial or am I missing something here? How do I setup wayland-egl to resolve gtk+-3's dependency?

Really stuck here, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • Is there a specific reason why you build the GTK stack yourself? It is installed by default. Just run Python outside of your jhbuild shell and import GTK3 with `from gi.repository import Gtk` and it should work. – Timo Aug 18 '17 at 07:57
  • @Timo : Uh oh! Well, I was following the GTK+3 manual by heart. They mentioned JhBuild as mandatory. Also, when I ran the python script with their "Hello World" example, it failed so one thing led to another and here I am. Anyway, thank you for pointing this out. My actual issue is resolved. However , still I think I should have been able to setup GTK3 on my system. – Sloth Aug 18 '17 at 13:30
