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

[Peter K. <pw...@st...>]

Dear Per,

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it.

I actually have included a whole bunch of -lxxx commands in the linker
options already. I am not sure why it is not showing up in the compiler
output - perhaps because it does not get to linking stage??

I chased down the first warning message and it appears to relate to (in
my opinion incorrect) usage of text immediately after an #endif
directive, but I would have thought this code had been checked and
correct??. The 2nd error message relates to a member defined in
gdktypes.h, which is located in \dev-cpp\include\gtk-2.0\gdk directory.

I cannot help thinking I need to have PATH statements in my Autoexec.bat
file??

I am also quite confused about when to use "\" and when to use"/" for
directory separator. The former is Windows and the latter Linux(?). The
compiler output actually uses both!

Thanks in advance for your help......

Peter Key

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.
