Re: GTK+ appliations on KD3 (newbie question)

[RKS]

hi Henrik
thanks a lot for your reply. I managed to compile a simple program
creating and showing a Window. The reason for the errors was because I
missed a  '-' (minus) in the pkg-config command which adds the I and L
options ( I had typed pkg-config -cflags missing a '-' and of course
rest of the command too).
Sorry I was stupid and not careful. Hope this posting will be useful to
someone like me.
thanks anyway.
