Re: statically linked GTK+ & glibc libraries

["Daniel Ding" <danielding hotmail com>]

Hi John,

Thanks for your quick response. But my Makefile looks like this:

LIBFILE=-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lpthread -lm `gtk-config --libs gthread`

How should I change this? Does it matter for compiling? such as:

mainwin.o: mainwin.c webfone.h
   $(CC) `gtk-config --cflags` -c mainwin.c

Appreciate your help.

Daniel
