I want to learn IUP https://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/iup/
I hastily went straight trying to run HelloWorld (hello.c) program as below:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iup.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
IupOpen(&argc, &argv);
IupMessage("Hello World 1", "Hello world from IUP.");
IupClose();
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
I'm on Windows. I do have gcc installed. I downloaded the so-called IUP pre-compiled binaries (iup-3.30_Win64_mingw6_lib.zip), yet I don't know what to do with it. I assume the next step is to install/add the library into gcc but I don't know how to do that. I have no idea what I'm doing.
Naively, I ran this command on the working directory
gcc hello.c
Of course it doesn't work.
These are what appear on the terminal
hello.c:2:10: fatal error: iup.h: No such file or directory
2 | #include <iup.h>
| ^~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
What I want to achieve:
- Successfully compile the code and run the program.
- Learning IUP
What I have tried:
- Running the gcc (despite have no idea what I'm doing)
