Hi I am still not able to compile gtk+ or gtkmm programs in cygwin on my Vista machine & I would appreciate some advice on how to do this. I have already posted recently about this and I had a reply but as yet no further help to my follow up (http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-01/msg00850.html).
I have been trying to get this sorted for many days now and this is becoming frustrating. My latest attempt was this (again unsuccessful as shown): d...@dad-pc /cygdrive/c/RPD_Programming/RPD_Gtk_Gimp_toolkit/helloworld/www_gtk_o rg_hw_tutorial $ cc `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` helloworld.c -o helloworld : No such file or directory cygwin warning: MS-DOS style path detected: C:/gtkmm/include/gtk-2.0 Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/gtkmm/include/gtk-2.0 CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning. Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames d...@dad-pc /cygdrive/c/RPD_Programming/RPD_Gtk_Gimp_toolkit/helloworld/www_gtk_o rg_hw_tutorial $ gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` helloworld.c -o helloworld : Invalid argument This compile line is from: Compiling GTK+ Applications Compiling GTK+ Applications How to compile your GTK+ application http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/gtk-compiling.html I will also add that I would eventually like to set up my Vista cmd prompt so I can compile gtk+ and gtkmm directly from cmd prompt but my first step is to get this cygwin bash shell compiling to work. I am grateful for and look forward to some helpful replies, many thanks Richard -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
