Hello everybody,
This might seem silly to ask but did not find the solution to my question yet.
I could not get my program successfully compiled on Ubuntu, although my program was successfully compile on Fedora 8 without any warning messages.

Any one please tell me how to compile a program on Ubuntu?

Here is what I used on Fedora:
" gcc -Wall -g -o myprogram myprogram.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` "

Thanks,
Soulivanh

You command looks correct. Perhaps you do not have all of the libraries installed correctly. What was the resulting error from that command?

Just to be safe, you could type in:

Code: (Plaintext)
1	sudo aptitude install build-essential libgtk-2.0-dev

Hi,
Your suggestion was right, Ubuntu did not install the required libraries by default. After installing the " libgtk-2.0-dev", I could compile my program without an error message.
Thanks,
