GTK

[suraj]

I'm a beginner in linux programing..using puppy 5.1
i have downloaded and installed devx file for my puppy

now am i able to compile and run gtk programs or do i need some other development tools...

when i tried to compile a simple gtk program by

gcc prog.c -o prog pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk-unix-print-2.0

then it shows error-->

gcc:pkg-config: no such file or directory
cc1: error :unrecongnized command line option "-fcflags"
cc1:error : unrecognized command line option "-flibs"

pls help...

you missed the ` surrounding the pkg-config command (shift + ~ ... top left on most keyboards)
this returns the output inline

should be:
gcc prog.c -o prog `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk-unix-print-2.0`

I trust the linker more than pkg-config for libs so I use this instead:
gcc -Os prog.c -o prog `pkg-config --cflags gtk-unix-print-2.0` -lgtk-unix-print-2.0
