I was told that compiling statically will enable my gtk program to run on any system with the same OS as the original compiling OS whether or not GTK is present. I tried this by typing gcc -static -o outputfile file.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` and I got this error /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgtk-x11-2.0 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status What do I do now. I read a suggestion that I look for static libraries of GTK which are not installed automatically. If this is true how can I check if I do have these static libraries and if I dont where do I get them and how do I install them. If there is another way to get my app to run on a computer that does not have GTK or maybe an earlier version than that used for my app let me know thanks. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
