GTK Makefile error

I was hoping someone could figure out my error in my makefile.

I keep getting this error:
../lib/gtk.h:4:22: fatal error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

I think the error might be in my makefile, here is my makefile. If anyone can spot why this happening please let me know. I am using the command make test when i get this error.

Code:

#
# makefile for gtk
#

ARG = `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0`
RM = rm -f
SRC = no.c night.c exit_event.c destroy.c delete_event_exit.c delete_event.c day.c main.c
OBJ = $(SRC:.c=.o)
TESTNAME = test
TESTSRC = main.c
TESTOBJ = $(TESTSRC:.c=.o)
#

clean:
   -$(RM) *.o
   -$(RM) *~
   -$(RM) \#*
   -$(RM) *.core

fclean: clean
   -$(RM) $(TESTNAME)

re: fclean

test: $(TESTOBJ)
   cc $(TESTSRC) -o $(TESTNAME) $(ARG)

try this ,
define those two:

Quote:

CFLAGS = -g $(shell pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0)
LIBS = $(shell pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0)

and later use it :

Quote:

cc $(TESTSRC) $(CFLAGS) -o $(TESTNAME) $(LIBS)

never use Makefile before. I am addicted to Eclipse IDE.
thanks for pushing me to learn this.
cheers !

btw. why you use GTK+ 2.0 if you start to learn do it with NEW one: GTK+ 3.0 ?!

That did not work :/.

I am using Gtk 2.0 because that is what my teacher wants us to use lol.

As you're learning makefiles, you may want to learn the autotools, which will do a lot of things for you and standardise formats so its easier to see what goes wrong (error messages are also more meaningful). I've long since forgotten what a makefile is meant to look like; only dealing with Makefile.am's.
Only thing I can think of is to ask if you have the -dev packages installed that will include the header files (looks like that is what the error messge's about). The other option is that the pkg-config line is not communicating right with the include in your source.
