Re: [Dev-C++] QUESTION ON ERROR LOG FROM A NEWBIE

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

If you read your linkin line, you'l notice that it contains a lot of
-Ixx - include path for header files and not needed during link.
It also contains one
-Lxx - library path, i.e. where the linker should pick up any needed
libraries.

However, there is not a single:
-lxx - i.e. a specification _which_ library should be used.

If you open your project options, select the 'Parameters' tab and look at
the Linker options, you should specify which libraries the project needs.

Most probably, you should specify something like -lgtk or whatever the
gtk libraries might be named. You don't have to specify the starting lib
and the ending .a.
