Install Ubuntu GTK

Install GTK

Sudo apt-Get install Vim # Use Vim to write code. Of course, you can use any editor you like.

Sudo apt-Get install build-essential # This will install basic programming tools such as gcc/g ++/GDB/make

Sudo apt-Get install gnome-core-devel # This will install libgtk2.0-dev libglib2.0-Dev and other development-related library files

Sudo apt-Get install PKG-config # used to automatically find the header file and library file location when compiling the GTK Program

Sudo apt-Get install devhelp # This will install the devhelp GTK document viewing program

Sudo apt-Get install libglib2.0-Doc libgtk2.0-doc # This will install the GTK/glib api reference manual and other help documents

Sudo apt-Get instal Glade libglade2-dev # This will install GTK-based interface GTK is the C/C ++ language graphics library for developing gnome windows. I had a hard time on the Ubuntu machine and copied the online tutorial code to compile it on the local machine. Code File Name: t1.c. Follow the tutorial to compile with the following command:

GCC t1.c 'pkg-config -- cflags -- libs GTK +-2.0'

Compilation result: GTK/GTK. H is not found.

Because my Ubuntu is a gnome system, I thought that GTK + 2.0 development programs (header files and library files) should have been installed on the computer. Otherwise, if you develop a GTK + 2.0 program on Ubuntu, you need to install the corresponding header file and library. In the console window, enter sudo apt-Get install libgtk2.0 *. All files required for GTK + 2.0 are downloaded and installed. Apply the compilation command again: GCC t1.c 'pkg-config -- cflags -- libs GTK +-2.0, compile and run.

PKG-config is a program used to manage packages. On the console, enter the running result of PKG-config -- cflags -- libs GTK +-2.0:

-Dpng_no_mmx_code-I/usr/include/gtk-2.0-I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include-I/usr/include/atk-1.0-I/usr/include/Cairo-I/usr /include/pango-1.0-I/usr/include/glib-2.0-I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include-I/usr/include/FreeType2-I/usr/include /libpng12-lgtk-x11-2.0-lgdk-x11-2.0-latk-1.0-lgdk_pixbuf-2.0-lm-lpangocairo-1.0-lfontconfig-lxext-lxrender-lxinerama-LXI-lxrandroid-lxcursor-lxcomposite-lxdamage-lpango-1.0-lcairo-lx11-lxfixes -lgobject-2.0-lgmodule-2.0-LDL-lglib-2.0

It can be seen that the output text includes all the options required for GCC to compile GTK + 2.0 (header file directory and library file ).

Note that the GCC t1.c 'pkg-config -- cflags -- libs GTK +-2.0 ', the quotation marks on both sides of PKG-config -- cflags -- libs GTK +-2.0 are not real quotation marks, but the character on the leftmost side of the keyboard number. If a single quotation mark is used incorrectly, GCC cannot use the text generated by PKG-config -- cflags -- libs GTK +-2.0 as the compilation option. Constructor.
$ GCC gtkhello. C-o gtktest 'pkg-config -- cflags -- libs GTK +-1000'
$./Gtktest
GCC gtk1.c 'pkg-config -- cflags -- libs GTK +-2.0'
