GTK Compiling/Installation problems

[James2432]

O/S: Windows
Dev-C++ v: 4.9.9.2
I installed all the libs for GTK+ through webupdate(devpack.org:GTK)

I have downloaded the GTK bundle for windows(libs and runtimes) from gtk.org extracted it to C:\GTK
added C:\GTK\BIN\ to PATH system environment variable

Added directories in dev-c++:
Binaries: C:\GTK\bin\ Lib:C:\GTK\lib
C++ Includes: C:\GTK\includes

when I run the basic program I get the fallowing error:
cc1plus.exe C:\Users\James\Documents\C++Apps\MyFirstApp\cc1plus.exe unrecognized command line option "-fcflags"

Compile log:
Compiler: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "C:\Users\James\Documents\C++Apps\MyFirstApp\Makefile.win"

If they were the default settings I would not have mentioned it would I!?

Most DevPaks have a project template. Did you use that?

> pkg-config --cflags gtkmm-2.4

What are the strange ` characters doing around that part?

> -fexpensive-optimizations -O3
When you are having problems getting anything to work, don't complicate teh issue by adding additional options.

> --cflags

I checked the GNU GCC documentation and there is no such option. What dod you intend it to do?

[James2432]

I didn't add any extra commands, all of them are default from the Dev-C++ I am new to C++(I have C-like experience) and wanted to compile a basic GTK+ program(which I created by default and hit compile) to test if everything was working

[James2432]

Do you have tutorial on setting up dev-c++ with GTK+2(preferably 2.12+), gtkmm on windows?

[Wayne Keen]

"all of them are default from the Dev-C++ "

No, they are not the default.

Have you tried compiling a simple hello world example?
