How to compile a GTK program for Lucid 5.28?

[jafadmin]

I want to compile a C++/GTK program for lucid 5.28. What all do I need to add to get the gtk stuff to compile?

When I #include the gtk.h header file it tosses a bunch of errors about missing files.

what program is it that you are trying to compile?

a newer version of gpptp.

I'm porting the source from the project I did on puppy 4.xx

I need to know how to shoehorn the GTK libs and headers into 5.28 full install.

Ok, so after quite a bit of hair pulling I finally got all the #include dependencies sorted out so the compiler is happy for this project. I can't help but wonder how badly I've messed things up by putting all those symlinks in the <include> directory.

Oh well, this instance of puppy is primarily for this project. Now I'm off to goof around with libraries

edit:

WooHoo! Success! Compile->link->binary

I'll have a 5.xx enhanced version of gpptp posted in the HowTo forum before long

too little info, but try:
pkgconfig -cflags gtk+-2.0
