GTK+ Forums

Hi !
When I try to compile a gtk file using xterm, I write (for a program named foo.c) "gcc -c foo.c `pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0` `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0` ". Is this wrong ? When I try to compile a message appears " No package glig-2.0 found ".

Thanks in advance

The most likely reason for this problem is that although you have gtk installed you don't have the headers. These are found in the .dev packages in which case you have to make sure you install all the *-dev packages that are part of the gtk family. Same goes whenever you compile something that links to an external library. The one that's causing you're particular error is libglib2.0-dev
If this isn't it please make sure you give us as much information as you can about your system, e.g. ubuntu version, gtk version etc.
