Uh, I know this might not be the right forum to ask about this(which is why I'm also sending this question to the GTK+ mailing list, but then again, they might not be using Dev-c++, so I might be screwed anyway), but I'm going to go right ahead. I was fiddling around with C++ again after perhaps a year-long hiatus, and was getting pretty bored with the console interface that characterizes iostream.h(Also, my friends tell me that they won't play my game unless I get some nifty interface :( ), so I was going to put GTK+ back in. I installed the latest version of Dev-C++ - at least, that's what I think it is - actually, it's 4.9.9.2, and AFAIK 5.x is the latest? Whatever. 4.9.9.2 is my version, anyway.
I've never actually learnt how to install these kind of packs into my compiler and I just run from what I used to do. Namely, adding all the required directories, in which the required header files were, to the linker command list. Like,
-I "C:\Documents and Settings...\include\gtk-2.0\gtk" -I "C:\Documents and Settings...\include\gtk-2.0"
etc. It worked fine, like. All the initial "undefined reference to..." errors got away. However, when I entered the path of the last header file, I got a new, fun error: "[Linker Error]: undefined reference to " for every GTK function I used. So I'm stumped. I've also added all the directories under the directories tab, which didn't do any difference.
But I have some slight memory of having added some kind of linker flags to the end of the linker commands field. I unfortunately cannot remember what they were and my googling about has turned up nothing. I don't know if they would make a difference, but I thought that was the first route to follow.
Any ideas?
Oh yeah, one more thing. Apparently, the linker errors only respond to the actual functions. Declaration of GTK-specific objects and stuff like that doesn't turn up in the compile log. And speaking of which, I present thy with the compile log:
