Developer Quick Start Guide

Getting Started with GTK VS and VC ++ Express

Recommendation : Before Starting you should read this minimal sample showing why you should take care about not mixing
c runtimes in your applications

This Quick Start Guide assumes that you installed GTK VS runtimes
and the GTK development package

1. Create a new console project using VC ++ Express

2. Include necessary Headers : you can paste GTK includes search path from here:

"$(GTK)\include";"$(GTK)\include\glib";"$( GTK)\include\gmodule";"$(GTK)\include\gthread";"$(GTK)\include\gobject";"$(GTK)\include\cairo";"$(GTK)\include\gdk";"$(GTK)\include\gtk";

3. SET THE RUNTIME to dynamic libraries (Multi Threaded Debug DLL or Multi Threaded DLL) if not set
4 Add the following preprocessor definitions :

if using zlib , ZLIB_DLL must be defined

if using libpng , PNG_DLL must be defined

5 Add the $(GTK)\libs path to the Additionnal Library Path
6 Add GTK libraries External Dependencies

Using Visual Studio 2005 and GTK+VS 2005
