RE: GTK+ and MinGw..............

["Suresh Kumar" <suresh_vsamy rediffmail com>]

Hi,

   Thanx for your comments. I found that pkg-config does the 
trick. But when iam running pkg-config on its own in command 
prompt (c:\pkg-config gtk+-2.0 -libs -cflags), it return a bulk of 
include files along with their path.

    When i tried the same thing using gcc
( gcc -c hello.c `pkg-config gtk+-2.0 -libs -cflags`), i got the 
error message such that "pkg-config: No such file or directory".

   Finally i passed all include files along with their path as 
arguments to gcc by hand.

   Compilation
  -------------
   c:> gcc -c hello.c -Ic:/gtk/include/gtk-2.0 
-Ic:/gtk/lib/gtk-2.0/include -Ic:/gtk/include/atk-1.0 
-Ic:/gtk/include/pango-1.0 -Ic:/gtk/include/glib-2.0 
-Ic:/gtk/lib/glib-2.0/include

    Linking
    -------
   c:> gcc -o hello hello.o -Lc:/gtk/lib -lgtk-win32-2.0 
-lgdk-win32-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangowin32-1.0 
-lgdi32 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl 
-liconv

    After linking, I got hello.exe. When executed hello.exe, I 
got an error message stating that "The procedure entry point 
g_get_application_name could not be located in the dynamic link 
library libglib-2.0-0.dll". I set "c:\gtk\lib" to PATH variable 
which contains all library files.

    Now, How can i use pkg-config in gcc so that all needed 
include files will be taken from pkg-config's output?

    How to rectify the above error (libglib-2.0-0.dll) ?

  Thanx.
