parasite with miro on Linux
I saw Chip's blog entry announcing Parasite yesterday and checked it out. I had problems getting it to work with Miro, but he has since fixed the bug I was bumping into.
I think this will be a really useful tool, so I'm doing a short write up of how to use Parasite with Miro.
Grab Parasite from git compile and install it. Instructions are on the Parasite web-site.
When you run
make install
It'll install libgtkparasite.so into/usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/
.-
Launch Miro like this:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/ GTK_MODULES=parasite ./run.sh
That'll launch Miro with Parasite showing you the widget hierarchy and widget properties and all that.
There's a screencast on the Parasite site that shows off more things you can do.
