I have never built a project in Ubuntu before and I am trying to come to grips with the GNU build tools and process.
When I try to make I get the glib.h - no such file or directory.
This is the output of pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0
-I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include -L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu -lglib-2.0
I presume the above output are the compiler flags make uses?
Any ideas?
It appears that gcc can't find the glib.h which is a part of the libglib2.0-dev package. Make sure you've installed libgtk2.0-0-dev package (which depends on libglib2.0-dev) and try again.
You need to tell make to use pkg-config to find out the compiler flags. Like so
CFLAGS = `pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0`
LDLIBS = `pkg-config --libs glib-2.0`
make will execute pkg-config and use the output to fill in CFLAGS and LDLIBS
You need to add pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0 in make file.
It should look like this:
gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0` file.c
