Setting up GTKmm in Eclipse for C++

Question

I am trying to create a GUI using GTKmm in Eclipse, however I can\'t get the configuration working. For reference, here is my actual code:

#include 

        

Answer 1

I performed two test. One with your source instance and one with an instance from a simple file from the site. Both worked flawlessly the first time using the steps below.

A Hello World example from the gtkmm website with Success: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtkmm-documentation/tree/examples/book/helloworld

First I installed the pkg-config Eclipse Plugin:
https://code.google.com/p/pkg-config-support-for-eclipse-cdt/

Then:

• Created a new empty C++ project in Eclipse
  
• Added three files to the project (helloworld.cpp, helloworld.h, main.cc)
  
• Added pkg-config-support to the project: [(right click on Project) -> Properties -> C++ Build -> Settings -> Pkg-config -> (checkmark) gtkmm-3.0 -> OK
  
• From Eclipse I Cleaned, then Build all, then was able to Run the example.

Answer 2

I can't put this in the comments they are too restrictive. These are the steps I have just gone through to make a gtkmm program in my eclipse. I followed the procedure twice and it worked both times.

Create Project:

File -> New -> C++ Project

Project Type: Executable -> Hellow World Gtkmm Project

Toolchains: Linux GCC

Project Properties:

C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Pkg-config -> gtkmm-3.0

See if that works for you.

I have a brief article about this (with screenshots), see it here:
