How do I use GTK+

[techboy291]

Hi, I was just wondering how to use GTK+. I know it's not a program and that it's a c++ library used for making programs with a gui. I just want to understand how to access and use the libraries.

Simply put, include the header files in your code (so you can use the functions and types it has), make sure you call the needed initialisation functions, and link against the libraries when you build.

I would suggest to get a book on GTK+ or at least some tutorial that will more thoroughly explain the requirements.

I remember (from my minimum experience with GTKmm (c++ wrapper of GTK++)) that some special flags where need (I don't remember which ones though) so you better use a book for this.
