[Glade-users] gtk+ and glade on windows -> native .exe files, link time errors

[Neil Zanella <nzanella gmail com> (Neil Zanella)]

Hello,

Since the application I am building needs to be portable, I need to produce
the corresponding .exe files for windows users. So, I just installed cygwin
with all the requirements pointed out at http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/
and managed to compile a small GTK+ application to produce an executable.

Then I proceeded to install glade 2.4 as provided on that site. So I downloaded
some gtk/libglade code with the scp utility which I got from cygwin (could also
have used wget), downloaded gvim for windows (because I couldn't stand not
being able to cut and paste code with the default cygwin terminal window),
and wrote and compiled a sample hello world file as outlined on
http://gladewin32.sf.net/. This worked fine.

I then tried to compile my small glade test app. Here is the Makefile:

------------ Makefile
------------------------------------------------------------------

CXX=g++

CXXFLAGS=-mms-bitfields -mno-cygwin -mwindows

all: test

test: main.o
        ${CXX} -o test `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0 libglade-2.0` \
                       main.o

main.o: main.cpp
        ${CXX} ${CXXFLAGS} -c `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 libglade-2.0` \
        main.cpp

-------------------------------------------------------

Now when I type make to produce the object file main.o I get the object file
no problem, but then when I get to the link phase I end up with the following
errors:

main.o(.text+0xe):main.c: undefined reference to `_g_print'

Any ideas of how to fix this problem?

Thanks,
