Well...there are many ways to configure both IDEs, but so far I only know how to do so for Dev-C++. Anyway, you have 2 choices, either create a Dev-C++ project template, or an empty project and add the appropriate compiler and linker commands every time you create a GTK+ application. In both cases, you need to run pkg-config on your GTK+ (pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.4 [assuming 2.4 is what you use, check the gtk+ .pc file]), and make sure that your PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set to the directory where the .pc files for GTK+ are in your computer. Generally, they are in <GTK+ install dir>\lib\pkgconfig directory. For the first case, where you make use of templates, wheere there are the text edits where you can input compiler or linker options, copy out the output of pkg-config beginning -I and -L (capital L) into the compiler options text edit, and all output beginning with -L and -l (jafr, case sensitive) into the linker options text edit, and then save and you have your GTK+ project template. If you don't want to hassle yourself with creating a template which may take a while to get right, you could always create empty projects ALL the time when wanting to write a GTK+ application, and then in project options do what you would do in the templates method where which output goes where. And specify your application as a C application, even though your file extension may say it all, it's better to be safe than sorry. Also, you don't need to change your application to a Windows application project type as console would do fine and the nice GTK+ runtime debug messages can appear for your debugging pleasure, but when you don't want them around, leave the project type as a console application but request it NOT to make a console window. Same applies for the template method. Hope that helps Benjamin Lau __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
