[SOLVED] Glade/GTK very beginners question

[anewguy]

I have been following one of the online tutorials for using Glade and GTK. In the very first sample program (it only creates a window and destroys it when the box is clicked) it has the following lines:

/*
To compile, use this command (those are backticks, not single quotes):
gcc -Wall -g -o tutorial main.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0 libglade-2.0`
*/


As far as I can tell, I think I have GTK installed, but when I run the above gcc (changed to match my source name) I get the following:

dave@dave-desktop:~/cvsutil/src$ gcc -Wall -g -o cvsutil cvsutilgtk.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0 libglade-2.0`
Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
Package libglade-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libglade-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libglade-2.0' found

I know after it not finding the gtk package that everything else is a result of that.

What should a beginner like me do?

Thanks! :)

EDIT: Forgot to mention that glade and gtk seem to be installed in /usr/lib if that helps any.

I haven't messed with GTK much, but I believe you'll need the libgtk2.0-dev package in Synaptic, or:


sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev

Tried what you suggested - it installed some stuff, but the compile still fails just the same.

I tried changing the gcc line by removing the PKG_CONFIG_PATH and just putting -l in front of each library name as I have done in the past:

gcc -Wall -g -o cvsutil cvsutilgtk.c -lgtk+-2.0 -llibglade-2.0


The results are slightly changed, but I still can't figure out what is wrong (like WHERE is looking for the /glade and /gtk directories??):

dave@dave-desktop:~/cvsutil/src$ gcc -Wall -g -o cvsutil cvsutilgtk.c -lgtk+-2.0 -llibglade-2.0
cvsutilgtk.c:5:21: error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory
cvsutilgtk.c:6:25: error: glade/glade.h: No such file or directory

Followed of course by a lot of "not declared" type errors.

I'm really quite confused here. Any help would be appreciated!! :(

Fixed those errors by uninstalling glade and installing glade-gnome packages.

Thanks for the help! :)
