windows 10 - Code::Blocks not working with GTK3 even after editing the script-gtk-win32-3.0.lib not present -

where gtk-win32-3.0.lib from?

i trying use gtk3 code::blocks. thing when trying create gtk project, gave me error can't find gtk.h. edited wizard script , changed gtk-2.0 gtk-3.0 seen in answer on stack overflow.

after doing that, gave me error cannot find gtk-win32-2.0. changed gtk-win32-3.0 in script error still persists.

i have both files gtk.h , gtk-win32-3.0 in gtk directory. crosschecked many times. can me this?

i discovered don't have file 'gtk-win32-3.0.lib` in gtk\lib directory. manually created 1 in directory , code::blocks lets me create project. still don't know should present inside library file.

edit: project gets created after added blank file named gtk-win32-3.0.lib in expected directory files doesn't compiled.

current error:error: ld returned 1 exit status didn't more details regarding error.

the same program gets compiled when used outside project individual source file.

i noticed still have code::blocks installed (version 13.12). note on linux. clicked on file|new|project.

i selected new project gtk project, , ready.

you'll have fill in project name (test99 in screenshot) , location.

i suspect do need have gcc compiler installed, , of course gtk libraries. you'll need pkg-config, necessary configuration.

by default, new project configured gtk-2 project. can change changing part of includes. right click on project name in left panel (test99), , select properties. in properties, select project build options (don't tempted select options instead of properties in previous step. don't know why, they're different!)

select linker options, , should see pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --libs 'back-ticks' around it. changing 2.0 3.0 should link libraries.

go compiler settings, other options , again, find similar entry pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --cflags (also backticks). detects gtk.h file lives. (also change 2.0 3.0)

that should it. may not latest version of code::blocks. if encounter problems, yell!
