Yes, you should have a look at the output of "pkg-config --cflags --libs
gtk+-2.0" and make sure the -L flags are pointing the linker at the
correct libraries.  Also you may want to add the "-mwindows" flag, which
indicates a windows gui executable, and will keep the console window from
being shown (but remember that this changes your entry point from main()
to WinMain() ).
