error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory
 

Below is my C code:
Below is the compilation output of this code !
The most relevant packages I have installed are listed below:
Have I missed something out ?

Kindly guide !

May be you need to install gtk+ and libgtk+, I'm not sure though.

That didn't help, BUT THANKS FOR BOTHERING TO REPLY,

I managed to solve the problem myself:
Here's my solution:

I had compiled it wrongly first of all !

Correct way:
This resulted in many other errors like unable to find
glib.h, gtk.h, glib.h, glibconfig.h, pango.h, gdkconfig.h, atkobject.h, pkgconfig.h


Then I did the following:
and then installed gdk-pixbuf and gdk-pixbuf-devel packages !

and now I can compile it simply like this: gcc j.c

Thanks for sharing the solution :)

Most welcome :D

I'm also starting out with gtk now. I struggled a lot with compiling hello-world until I found the 'GNOME Documentation Library'.

Basically, the pkg-config utility can produce all (or most of) the include options you need for compiling. try typing:

To compile hello.c with gtk2.0, just type:

Note the fancy backticks. They work somewhat like quotes in lisp and expands the output from the pkg-config program into the your command.

I guess this means less cluttering of the environment, and you can easily change the 2.0 to 3.0 without rewriting all your scripts.

thanks,

I met the same problom that you countered,but resolved it
 

Actually,it's simple to resole,though it confused me a whole day.
Noting,there is diference between " ' " and " ` "," ' " is single quotes,the other symbol shares the key with "~".
The correct symbol is last one that shared the key with "~".
