- Prison Code Breaker Diary -

Let’s work out together with Gtk+ 2.0.

Well, you need to setup your environment with Gtk+, already support by Gnome if using Gnome/Linux.

Let’s do this: “Hello World”

#include 

void
destroy( void )
{
gtk_main_quit( );
}

int
main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
GtkWidget *window;
GtkWidget *button;

gtk_init( &argc, &argv );

window = gtk_window_new( GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL );
gtk_container_border_width( GTK_CONTAINER( window ), 10 );

g_signal_connect( GTK_OBJECT(window ), "destroy", G_CALLBACK( destroy ), NULL );

button = gtk_button_new_with_label( "Hello World" );

g_signal_connect( GTK_OBJECT( button ), "clicked", G_CALLBACK( hello ), NULL );
g_signal_connect_object( GTK_OBJECT( button ), "clicked", G_CALLBACK( gtk_widget_destroy ), GTK_OBJECT( window ) );

gtk_container_add( GTK_CONTAINER ( window ), button );

gtk_widget_show( button );
gtk_widget_show( window );

gtk_main ();

return 0;
} 

There you have the source, well, named it “hello.c”

To make it work, let’s compile

japh@server ~] $ gcc -Wall -g -o hello hello.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0 gmodule-2.0)

Then just run ….

Have fun….
