Need help with code::blocks and gtk
« on: July 11, 2017, 04:36:43 pm »
Hi, I installed gtk 3.0 dev (using apt-get install), libwxgtk (using synaptic) and codeblocks (using apt-get). I'm getting error for my gtk project:

Quote
fatal error: gtk/gtk.h: no such file or directory

Here's a screenshot:

Is the GTK devel package installed?

Edit: After installing GTK devel package, did you exit out of Code::Blocks and reenter CB and try rebuilding.

Thanks for the quick reply. No I don't think so. I just tried

Code
sudo apt-get install gtk-devel

but I got error:

E: Unable to locate package gtk-devel

I installed codeblock after installing gtk. Anyway I tried dpkg-reconfigure codeblocks if you mean that, it still doesn't work. And searched a lot for rebuilding codeblocks however couldn't find anything useful. How can I rebuild CB?

Build -> Rebuild is how to rebuild a project.

Please try to follow the links I posted or I will have to just ignore you.

Have you created the project via the gtk project wizard from codeblocks, or did you created a c++ project?

c - How to install gtk development dependencies on Ubuntu? - Stack Overflow - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15390181/how-to-install-gtk-development-dependencies-on-ubuntu This link may help you.
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.

If you use a wizard-created project, please check the compiler and linker settings:
"Build options -> [your project] -> Compiler settings -> Other compiler settings" and
"Build options -> [your project] -> Linker settings -> Other linker options".
Both will refer to gtk+2.0 pkg-config files, but Debian based  distros (most others nowadays also) use gtk3 as default.
So you have to fix these entries to point to the correct gtk-devel files.
It should be enough to change the "2" to a "3".
You can check it on a console.
You might need to close and reopen C::B to make this be recognized.

Code
sudo apt-get install gtk-devel

but I got error:

And the package is called "libgtk-3-dev" or "libgtk2.0-dev" if you want gtk2.
