Using gtkmm with Eclipse CDT

Question

I'm trying to compile the gtkmm Simple Example using Eclipse CDT, but it's not working for some reason

I'm compiling this on Mandriva Linux and GCC 4.4.3

I get this error, which I think is a linking error :

Sorry for the long error log, but I don't know how to make it shorter

Did you do whats said here: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtkmm-tutorial/unstable/sec-install-unix-and-linux.html.en — yasouser, Feb 10 '11 at 15:46
I already have the devel package installed, or do you mean that I should compile it from source instead? — Mahmoud Hanafy, Feb 10 '11 at 17:47

Project Property->C/C++ Build->Settings GCC C++ Compiler->Miscellaneous, add this string: pkg-config gtkmm-3.0 --cflags --libs into Other flags. GCC C++ Linker->Miscellaneous, add this string: pkg-config gtkmm-3.0 --cflags --libs in Linker flags. If you are using gtkmm 2.4, just replace "gtkmm-3.0" with "gtkmm-2.4"

Tick the GCC C++ COMPILER VERBOSE (_V) string.

Oh! This is better than mine! Much easier to add. – Christian Smith Jul 28 '12 at 19:55

You have to add all the library's listed when you run pkg-config gtkmm-2.4 --cflags --libs in a terminal to Eclipse. As far as I have found, Eclipse doesn't play nice with pkg-config, so you have to add them manually.

Right click your Project > Properties > C/C++ Build > Settings

Under GCC C++ Compiler, in directories, add each directory listed when you run pkg-config gtkmm-2.4 --cflags (just the directories, drop the -I and -pthread)

Under GCC C++ Linker, in Libraries, add everything from pkg-config --libs (again, just add the libraries,drop the -l and -pthread)

How do I found out which directories get listed using pkg-config? – Mahmoud Hanafy Mar 21 '11 at 16:27
output of `pkg-config --cflags` on my computer is: – Christian Smith Mar 22 '11 at 11:39
output of `pkg-config --cflags` on my computer is: `-pthread -I/usr/include/gtkmm-2.4 -I/usr/lib/gtkmm-2.4/include -I/usr/include/giomm-2.4 -I/usr/lib/giomm-2.4/include -I/usr/include/pangomm-1.4 -I/usr/lib/pangomm-1.4/include -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/include/gtk-unix-print-2.0 -I/usr/include/atkmm-1.6 -I/usr/include/gdkmm-2.4 -I/usr/lib/gdkmm-2.4/include -I/usr/include/glibmm-2.4 -I/usr/lib/glibmm-2.4/include -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include ...`(there are more) Take the -I(-'i' uppercase) off the front and add each individual directory with the add button. – Christian Smith Mar 22 '11 at 11:53
