Configure GTK in Eclipse

Configure GTK in Eclipse

Use Eclipse for GTK + programming

Eclipse Overview

Eclipse is an excellent open-source IDE and has now developed into a 10 thousand development platform. It supports all mainstream programming languages and can be used in Windows and Linux.

Its main feature is to provide code prompts during the coding process, and timely Error Detection for virtual machine languages. It is a powerful tool for developing Java, Python, and Ruby, and a rare tool for Web development.

Eclipse can also be used to develop C/C ++ applications. You only need to install a CDT plug-in.

The following describes how to configure GTK + program development using Eclipse.

Tool Version

This article assumes that you have installed Eclipse and CDT plug-ins, and set up the GTK + Development Environment (for how to set up the GTK + development environment, see GTK + programming Introduction).

The following are my tools and versions for comparison:

OS: Windows XP

Eclipse: 3.7.0

GCC: 4.5.2 (MinGW)

GTK +: Limit .2 (glade3-3.6.7-with-GTK +)

 

Step 01

Open the doscommand line and execute the following three commands in sequence:

Pkg-config -- cflags gtk +-2.0> include.txt

Pkg-config -- libs gtk +-2.0> libs.txt

Two. txt files will be generated under your d-root directory. We will use them later.

 

Step 02

Start Eclipse and create a new C Project named GTK +)

 

Step 03

Right-click the newly created GTK + project and select Properties at the bottom of the pop-up options.

 

Step 04

Eclipse will pop up the settings window for this project, click C/C ++ General at the left, and then click Paths and Symbols

 

Step 05

Click gnu c under the des option bar on the right, and then click Add... on the right to Add the path of GTK +.

Note: The Add to all invocations option must be checked for each addition.

What about fill in path? Open the include.txt file generated in step 1, which contains all the paths we need. The specific paths are as follows (depending on your GTK + installation path)

C:/GTK/include/gtk-2.0

C:/GTK/lib/gtk-2.0/include

C:/GTK/include/atk-1.0

C:/GTK/include/cairo

C:/GTK/include/pango-1.0

C:/GTK/include/glib-2.0

C:/GTK/lib/glib-2.0/include

C:/GTK/include/libpng12

Okay. The file path is set. The link library path is set below.

 

Step 06

In the Paths and Symbols window, click Library Paths in the middle, and then click Add... on the rightmost side to Add the path of the Linked Library of GTK +.

The Add to all invocations option must also be checked during addition.

You should have guessed how to find the path information. No error. Open the libs.txt file generated in step 1 and add the following path information (only one)

C:/GTK/lib

In this step, only the link library path is specified, but no specific link library name is specified.

 

Step 07

In the Paths and Symbols window, click Libraries in the middle, and then click Add... on the rightmost side to Add the GTK + link library one by one.

Similarly, do not forget to check the "Add to all invocations" option during addition.

Open the libs.txt file generated in step 1 and add the following database names one by one

Gtk-win32-2.0

Gdk-win32-2.0

Atk-1.0

Gio-2.0

Gdk_pixbuf-2.0

Pangowin32-1.0

Gdi32

Pangocairo-1.0

Pango-1.0

Cairo

Gobject-2.0

Gmodule-2.0

G Lib-2.0

Intl

The settings come to an end here, and the compilation options are set below

 

Step 08

Click the left-side C/C ++ Build option, and then click Settings.

 

Step 09

Select the top Configuration item as Debug, and then select the following Tool Settings Option

 

Step 10

Select the gcc c Compiler on the left of the Tool Settings option bar and change the Command on the right to gcc-mms-bitfields.

 

Step 11

Select the top Configuration item as Release, repeat the settings in step 1, and click the bottom OK button to confirm and exit the settings.

Now, the configuration of the entire Eclipse GTK + development environment is complete.

Configuration Summary

The entire process seems complicated, but it is not complicated at all. Let's repeat the configuration steps in a simple way:

Run the pkg-config command to obtain the path information of GTK +.

Open the project settings window

Add GTK +'s file path, link library path, and link library

Set GCC compilation options for different Debug and Release modes.

Postscript

We recommend that you use GCC + Make + Vim to develop GTK + applications (this is also my development method)

However, if you are familiar with IDE or are not familiar with command line, you can consider GCC + Eclipse

The following provides a general Makefile for compiling GTK + 2. x. For example, 3.x, replace gtk +-2.0 with gtk +-3.0.

GTK_FLAGS = $ (shell pkg-config -- cflags -- libs gtk +-2.0)

All:

Gcc-Wall-std = c99-o app *. c $ {GTK_FLAGS}

Note: Makefile copying from a Web page may fail to be executed normally, so you 'd better press it by yourself. all: the front blank of the line below is a Tab, not a space.
