    Undefined reference when building gtk applications

    Hello. I have been trying to build gimp from source. Yer, every time I execute configure, it fails with a message

    Code:
    *** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed.
configure: error: Test for GTK+ failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help
    Looking into config.log, there is:
    Code:
    configure:28333: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Winit-self -Wpointer-arith -Wold-style-definition  -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/xorg/X11-1.4.4/include -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/xorg/Xorgproto-2018.1/include/ -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gtk+-2.24.20/include/gtk-2.0/ -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Glib-2.32.0/include/glib-2.0/ -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Glib-2.32.0/lib/glib-2.0/include/ -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Cairo-1.10.0/include/cairo/ -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Pango-1.30.0/include/pango-1.0/ -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gtk+-2.24.20/lib/gtk-2.0/include/ -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gdk-pixbuf-2.25.2/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/ -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Atk-2.15.4/include/atk-1.0/ -L/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/xorg/X11-1.4.4/lib/ conftest.c   >&5

configure:28370: error: Test for GTK+ failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help.
    Then I tried to build this test by my own:

    Code:
    #include <gtk/gtk.h>
 #include <stdio.h>
 
 int
 main ()
 {
  return ((gtk_major_version) || (gtk_minor_version) || (gtk_micro_version));
   ;
   return 0;
 }
    with
    Code:
    gcc -o conftest2 -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gtk+-2.24.20/include/gtk-2.0/ -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Cairo-1.10.0/include/cairo/ -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Glib-2.32.0/include/glib-2.0/ -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Glib-2.32.0/lib/glib-2.0/include/ -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Pango-1.30.0/include/pango-1.0/ -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gtk+-2.24.20/lib/gtk-2.0/include/ -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Atk-2.15.4/include/atk-1.0/ -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gdk-pixbuf-2.25.2/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/ conftest2.c
    and received:
    Code:
    /tmp/ccCdzV54.o: In function `main':
conftest2.c:(.text+0x6): undefined reference to `gtk_major_version'
conftest2.c:(.text+0x10): undefined reference to `gtk_minor_version'
conftest2.c:(.text+0x1a): undefined reference to `gtk_micro_version'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
    I tried to check if the system gtk had these
    gtk_whatever_version
    on it and executed:

    Code:
    nm -s /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2000.0 | grep gtk_major_version
    that returned:
    nm: /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2000.0: no symbols
    I then tested with my two own built libgtk:

    Code:
     nm -s /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gtk+-2.24.20/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.20 | grep gtk_major_version
    that returned
    Code:
    0000000000344f64 R gtk_major_version
    and
    Code:
    nm -s /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux-32bit/Gtk+-2.12.0/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1200.0 | grep gtk_major_version
    that returned:

    Code:
    003821c0 R gtk_major_version
    Then I did my last attempts, tried to build the conftest example using my own gtks (-L added).

    Code:
    gcc -o conftest2 -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gtk+-2.24.20/include/gtk-2.0/ -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Cairo-1.10.0/include/cairo/ -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Glib-2.32.0/include/glib-2.0/ -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Glib-2.32.0/lib/glib-2.0/include/ -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Pango-1.30.0/include/pango-1.0/ -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gtk+-2.24.20/lib/gtk-2.0/include/ -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Atk-2.15.4/include/atk-1.0/ -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gdk-pixbuf-2.25.2/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/ -L /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gtk+-2.24.20/lib/ conftest2.c
    and

    Code:
    gcc -m32 -o conftest2 -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux-32bit/Gtk+-2.12.0/include/gtk-2.0/ -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux-32bit/Cairo-1.2.6/include/cairo/ -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux-32bit/Glib-2.20.0/include/glib-2.0/ -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux-32bit/Glib-2.20.0/lib/glib-2.0/include/ -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux-32bit/Pango-1.20.5/include/pango-1.0/ -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux-32bit/Gtk+-2.12.0/lib/gtk-2.0/include/ -I /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux-32bit/Atk-1.29.2/include/atk-1.0/ -L /media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux-32bit/Gtk+-2.12.0/lib/  conftest2.c
    Both returned:

    Code:
    conftest2.c:(.text+0x4): undefined reference to `gtk_major_version'
conftest2.c:(.text+0xd): undefined reference to `gtk_minor_version'
conftest2.c:(.text+0x16): undefined reference to `gtk_micro_version'
    So, any suggestions as to why this is happening?

    All your command lines are missing one or more -l options

    -L (uppercase) tells the linker where to look for libraries
    -l (lowercase) tells the linker the names of libraries to examine.

    If your actual library name is libfoo.a or libfoo.so, you say -lfoo on the command line.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Random guess you are missing the GTL devel packages that contains the GTK headers.
