HI,

I have install gtk+ glade on windows and i wish to compile using eclipse IDE.

First i create a project, set include path to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\include
C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\include\gtk-2.0
C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\include\cairo
C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\include\glib-2.0
C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\include\pango-1.0
C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\include\atk-1.0
C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\lib\gtk-2.0\include
C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\lib\glib-2.0\include

and lib path to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\lib

Then i compile, there is no problem with the header, but i think the problem is come from linker to library.

The error message is like below:-
Settings/SKTan/workspace/test1/Debug/../src/test1.cpp:13: undefined reference to `gtk_widget_show'
:C:/Documents and Settings/SKTan/workspace/test1/Debug/../src/test1.cpp:15: undefined reference to `gtk_main'

Any know how to solve this? Thanks in advance.

I don't work with eclipse, but is there a way to see what it's using to compile it?

I've only dabbled, but I compile my GTK+ applications in Windows the same way I do in Linux--by running gcc myself or from a typical POSIX install script (configure, make, make install). I do both of these using MinGW/MSYS.

i see, but using Msys is hard, you need to install every component to start. download dll and exe file from glade is another problem with me, i don't know where to put those file so that my compiler can find it.

Unfortunately, from what I've read, developing GTK+ in Windows is not as easy as other OS's. Be it MSYS, Cygwin, Visual Studio, Bloodshed Dev++, or Eclipse-- you need to know or figure out what all the dependencies are that you need, how you compiler/linker will find them and what linker flags it uses.

There are some GTK+ Development installers out there, however, I don't have any experience using them.
