GTK programming January 27, 2010

GTK(gnu tool kit or gimp tool kit) is object oriented approach in “C”
This is helpful in making projects
Lets try first code in for GTK

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

int main( int argc, char *argv[])
{
  GtkWidget *window;

  gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

  window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
  gtk_widget_show(window);

  gtk_main();

  return 0;
}

save it as simple.c
compile and run as follows:-
$gcc -Wall -g simple.c -o simple `pkg-config –cflags gtk+-2.0` `pkg-config –libs gtk+-2.0`
$gcc -o simple simple.c `pkg-config –libs –cflags gtk+-2.0`
OR
$gcc $(pkg-config –cflags –libs gtk+-2.0) -o simple simple.c
$./simple
