Hi keerthi bs.


i coudnt understand the usage and the need for pkg-config

pkg-config --clibs --gtk+2.0 just specify the place of your library on your
system.

You can replace `pkg-config --clibs -- gtk+-2.0' by your library's path...

`pkg-config --clibs -- gtk+-2.0' returns the path on your system rather than
hard-coding values on where to find the libraries.

Hard code values will maybe not work on another system (where the library
path is different)


I hope this will answer your question.
