include gtk wrong?

[Zeotronic]

I have aquired code that makes use of gtk... the code askes for the gtk header as <gtk/gtk.h> which geany said was wrong... and after investigation, set it to <gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h> which seems to be right... however the gtk.h points to all of it's gtk... 'stuff' as <gtk/ *etc* >... which as I said seems to be wrong. I figure I'm messing up pretty badly somewhere along the lines, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

For the record, I am trying to compile Word War VI.

Sorry if my information isn't very helpful... I'm not used to headers causing me problems.

I've never used geany, but it sounds like geany is "wrong". You should be able to tell geany that you want to add the option -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 to the compiler command. This looks relevant.

Oh... duh.

[Zeotronic]

Ok, maybe not so 'duh' but still a major oversight on my part. Regardless, I cannot manage to figure out what I should be using... -lgtk doesn't seem to work, and my attempts at modifying the command to make it right are also wrong. Can+~'s link, therefore, doesn't seem to help. Does anyone else know anything?

I still think the problem is getting geany configured correctly. To be sure that you have gtk+ installed, try compiling and running the simple example here. You can use geany to create the file base.c, but use the command shown in the web page in a terminal to compile the program. You might first have to install pkg-config, e.g.

$ sudo apt-get install pkg-config

If that works, then your installation of gtk+ is fine. For help with geany, you could try their mailing list; see the link on the geany web page.
