    Post Problems installing GTKmm

    Ok, I realize this isn't directly a C++ problem, but it concerns it, and I'm not sure where else to get help on it. I'll jump right to my question: I am trying to setup GTK+ (2.4 I believe) to work with Dev-C++. I followed the quite detailed installation instructions, and when i compile, it tells me I have problems in all of my include files that have to do with gtkmm. Anyway, if somebody could give me some more instructions (I'll uninstall dev and start over if I need to) on setting it up or something, I would GREATLY appreciate it.

    [background on why i'm trying to use it .. i wrote a console program, which I'm finishing up a public release for. I really want to make a GUI since most people would rather not use a console app. I've searched a lot on these boards and popular opinion seems to point to gtkmm. Now that I've tried, I really want to get it working.]

    Can you be any more specific about the problems you are having?

    Possibly post actual error messages.

    It gives me errors such as:

    Code:
    29   In file included from C:/dev-cpp/include/gtkmm/include/gtkmm-2.0/gtkmm.h
    25   C:\dev-cpp\include\gtkmm\include\gtkmm-2.0\glibmm.h glibmmconfig.h: No such file or directory.
    34   In file included from C:/dev-cpp/include/gtkmm/include/gtkmm-2.0/glibmm/containerhandle_shared.h
    That's just a couple I copied. It gives me hundreds of similar errors.

    I ran the pkg-config, and (as per installation instructions) edited the options in Dev to include the new directories for all the files and libraries, but still all the errors.

    Not sure about that, maybe your best bet would be to ask on the gtkmm mailing list or in the #gtk and #gnome IRC channels on irc.freenode.org.

    Ok, I reinstalled all of GTK+ and gtkmm, and it gets farther in compilation this time. However, I'm still getting errors. This time from the linker:

    Code:
     
    [Linker error] undefined reference to `Gtk::Main::Main(int, int &, char **&, bool)'
     
    [Linker error] undefined reference to `Gtk::Main::~Main(void)'
     
    [Linker error] undefined reference to `Gtk::Window::Window(int, Gtk::WindowType)' 
    . . .
    When I have this code (an example in their instructions):

    Code:
    #include <gtkmm.h>
    
    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
        Gtk::Main kit(argc, argv);
    
        Gtk::Window window;
    
        Gtk::Main::run(window);
        
        return 0;
    }
    Still lost. :S

    Anybody know why I'd be getting a linker error like that?

    Ok, I remembered I have failed to make Dev-Cpp work with gtkmm library but I have successfully set it up with MinGW. So this is what I have done:

    Feel free to ask me.
