Here is some code I have trouble with from the offical reference manual
http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkSpinButton.html

Code:

/* Provides a function to retrieve a floating point value from a
 * GtkSpinButton, and creates a high precision spin button.
 */

gfloat
grab_float_value (GtkSpinButton *button,
                  gpointer       user_data)
{
  return gtk_spin_button_get_value (button);
}

void
create_floating_spin_button (void)
{
  GtkWidget *window, *button;
  GtkAdjustment *adjustment;

  adjustment = gtk_adjustment_new (2.500, 0.0, 5.0, 0.001, 0.1, 0.0);

  window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
  gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (window), 5);

  /* creates the spinbutton, with three decimal places */
  button = gtk_spin_button_new (adjustment, 0.001, 3);
  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), button);

  gtk_widget_show_all (window);
}

The error I get while building is:

Hi,

It looks like you are trying to compile with a C++ compiler. It is much stricter than a C compiler and there are differences between the languages.

The first warning indicates that you are converting from a gdouble to a gfloat so may lose some digits if the value of the gdouble is larger than can be stored in the gfloat. The error is caused by the gtk_adjustment_new() returning a GtkObject * and not a GtkAdjustment * and there is no automatic conversion. This value needs to be cast to the correct type.

You do not say which version of GTK+ you are using as there are differences between GTK+ v2 and GTK+ v3. Seeing that your paths for the error messages are Windows paths I would presume GTK+ v2.

Take a look at this FAQ which has a small section on using the library with C++ http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/stable/gtk-question-index.html. And have a look at http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/stable/GtkSpinButton.html for the GTK+ v2 version.
