[SOLVED] adding gtk libraries to eclipse using C

archShade · 01-30-2010, 10:19 AM

So I decided to take my first steps into programming with C + gtk.

So far I have done

I loaded eclipse and ensured I had the cdt package
Created a new C/C++ project called "play"
Added a new source file called "Playfullsrc.c"

Added the following to paths and symbols (output of the command: pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0)

Code:

/usr/include/gtk-2.0
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include 
/usr/include/atk-1.0 
/usr/include/cairo 
/usr/include/pango-1.0 
/usr/include/pixman-1 
/usr/include/freetype2
/usr/include/directfb 
/usr/include/libpng12 
/usr/include/glib-2.0 
/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include

added "/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so" to GCC C Linker Libaries (I have cheacked and this file exists)

When I build the project I get the error message "cannot find -l/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so play line 0 C/C++ Problem"

I have been following this tutorial: http://zetcode.com/articles/eclipsecdevelopment/

Have I missed something? Any help getting this working will be appreciated.

You've probably messed up step 5. Does "it" look like this on your system: http://zetcode.com/articles/images/eclipselibraries.png ?

Thank you this was the problem. I should have added "gtk-x11-2.0"

I had tried
"libgtk-x11-2.0.so"
"libgtk-x11-2.0"
"/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so"
and
"/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0"
(at different times)

Anyway I have now but the correct line in and it works thank you.
