Re: changing font, color, size, etc. in a GtkEntry

[Eric Wajnberg <eric wajnberg sophia inra fr>]

Thanks Michael for your answer.

The compilation is ok. No error message. This is the linker that 
reports, e.g.:

undefined reference to `pango_font_description_from_string'

The instruction I use to compile is (which is launched by CodeBlocks):

mingw32-g++.exe -L"C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\gtk\lib"  -o 
bin\Release\entry2.exe obj\Release\main.o   -s  -lgtk-win32-2.0 
-lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0  -mwindows

So, all needed libraries are here, I think.

Of course, my code starts with:

#include <pango/pango.h>

So, there are apparently - in my view - no header or library missing.

In the meantime, I tried to do this on another computer at work. I got 
the same message. No way to have these pango functions recognized.

Is there something obvious I am missing?

Any help on this is welcomed!

Cheers, Eric.
