Where to find include files to C?
 

Hi,

I am a beginner programming in C and use the compiler GCC.
My question is: Where do I find include files, eg timer.h, and
how do I know the latest version of the include file?

PLease check this directory.

And, depending on how your system is set up: /usr/local/include /usr/X11R6/include. Also, what you're looking for might be in an installation-specific directory, e.g. /usr/local/Mesa/include.

As far as I know, header files typically don't have version numbers, so you only have to worry about big things like the difference between, for example, GTK and GTK2, which each have their own headers.

I believe that you can probably use your package management software to make sure you have the latest libraries.

I mean; how to find include files IF they are not on the computer?

determine the name of the software that they belong to and then ask google, freshmeat, sourceforge, etc, etc
