What Package to install to use --libs gtk+-2.0 in c compile

[keith14]

Hi,
I'm trying to compile c program that uses gtk+-2.0 library. What do I need to do to add this package?
After several attempts of adding different packages I still get many undefined references:
gui_slide.c:(.text+0x157f): undefined reference to `gtk_widget_show'
gui_slide.c:(.text+0x1598): undefined reference to `gtk_label_new'
gui_slide.c:(.text+0x15a1): undefined reference to `gtk_table_get_type'
... ... .. and on-on.

The makefile call is: gcc -c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` $< -o $@
thanks,
Keith

If pkg-config isn't throwing an error, then the package is likely already correctly installed. It's probably a matter of changing the gcc command line to make sure the libraries come AFTER the prerequisite $< e.g.



gcc $< `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` -o $@

or you can split the CFLAGS and LIBS like


gcc `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0` $< `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0` -o $@


(I'm guessing you don't want -c here since you are apparently linking to form an executable)
