Very simple gdk-pixbuf question/new to programming

["Morten B. Pedersen" <morten wtf dk>]

Hi,

I'm very new to programming in C/C++ - but I just wanted to try playing
around with gdk-pixbuf.

Sorry if this question is unrelated to the mailing list.

When I compile my source, I get:

$ g++ main.cpp 
/tmp/ccdZSqAL.o: In function `main':
/tmp/ccdZSqAL.o(.text+0xf): undefined reference to `gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file'
/tmp/ccdZSqAL.o(.text+0x27): undefined reference to `gdk_pixbuf_get_width'
/tmp/ccdZSqAL.o(.text+0x3d): undefined reference to `gdk_pixbuf_get_height'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


I don't understand why this happens, because I have:
#include <gtk/gtk.h> and
#include <gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.h>

Shouldn't this work then?

My whole source code below (I know, it doesn't do anything really):

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <iomanip.h>
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.h>

#define IMAGE_NAME "background.jpg"

int main(int argc)
{   
    int back_width, back_height;
    static GdkPixbuf *background;
    
    background = gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file (IMAGE_NAME);
    
    back_width = gdk_pixbuf_get_width (background);
    back_height = gdk_pixbuf_get_height (background);

}

Thanks for your time.
