  19 To compile a GTK+ application, you need to tell the compiler where to
  20 find the GTK+ header files and libraries. This is done with the
  21 <literal>pkg-config</literal> utility.
  22 </para>
  23 <para>
  24 The following interactive shell session demonstrates how
  25 <literal>pkg-config</literal> is used (the actual output on
  26 your system may be different):
  27 <programlisting>
  28 $ pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0
  29  -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/atk-1.0
  30 $ pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0
  31  -L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -lXi -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lm -lpangox -lpangoxft -lXft -lXrender -lXext -lX11 -lfreetype -lpango -latk -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0
  32 </programlisting>
  33 </para>
  34 <para>
  35 The simplest way to compile a program is to use the "backticks"
  36 feature of the shell. If you enclose a command in backticks
  37 (<emphasis>not single quotes</emphasis>), then its output will be
  38 substituted into the command line before execution. So to compile
  39 a GTK+ Hello, World, you would type the following:
  40 <programlisting>
  41 $ cc `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` hello.c -o hello
  42 </programlisting>
  43 </para>
  44
  45 <para>
  46 If you want to make sure that your program doesn't use any deprecated
  47 functions, you can define the preprocessor symbol GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
  48 by using the command line option <literal>-DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED=1</literal>.
  49 There are similar symbols GDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED,
  50 GDK_PIXBUF_DISABLE_DEPRECATED and G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED for GDK, GdkPixbuf and
  51 GLib.
  52 </para>

  54 <para>
  55 If you want to make sure that your program doesn't use any functions which
  56 may be problematic in a multihead setting, you can define the preprocessor
  57 symbol GDK_MULTIHEAD_SAFE by using the command line option
  58 <literal>-DGTK_MULTIHEAD_SAFE=1</literal>.
