In Linux? If so I'll give it a shot and let you know what happens when I try. Otherwise I can't help you as I don't have Windows.

Sorry, forgot to mention. I'm afraid it's on Windows. Thanks anyway.

I use GTK+ both on Windows and Linux, so let's go:

- Install Dev-C++.

- Install the GTK+ .devpack.

- Install the GTK+ runtime.

- Start Dev-C++, go to File -> New -> Project -> GUI. It should appear a new item, "GTK+". Select the kind of project, write a project name and click "Ok".

- Now, you have to add manually some header files. Go to Tools -> Compiler Options -> Directories and select "C includes" ("C++ includes" if you did so). Then, include this paths: include\gtk-2.0, lib\gtk-2.0\include, include\glib-2.0, lib\glib-2.0\include, include\cairo, include\pango-1.0, and include\atk-1.0.

And now, click the Build button to check everything's ok. If you still have problems, check every path you included. Keep in mind where you installed the .devpack.

OK, but how about gtkmm? There's no devpak for gtkmm!
By gtk.devpak do you mean the one at http://gtk.alkia.org/ ?
And will I have to add any directories in project options?

thanks a lot :D

Yeah, I mean the two files in http://gtk.alkia.org/index.php , both the runtime and the .devpack.

I don't use gtkmm, so I can't help you there, sorry.

And you'll have to add lib directories to your project, at least the ones I listed earlier. If you have third-party libraries, or maybe of your own, you'll have to add them too, of course.
