Making a Makefile is verry easy:

__________________________________

CFLAGS += -g3 -O2 `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0`                         
       <-- watch the ` instead of '
LDFLAGS += `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0`                                 
                

program_name:  mainwindow,o other.o file.o source.o
                      g++ $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $* $+




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

thats all!

program_name should be the name of the ouput file. if you have the 
sourcefiles called source1.c source2.c and source3.c    after the : 
there should be:  source1.o source2.o source3.o    Make sure that is is 
on the same line of program_name: !!!!! if it doesnt fit on one line, 
put an \ on the end of the first line.

like:

program_name:  source1.o\
                       source2.o\
                       source3.o
