Getting started programming with GTK+

#1 Post by fguy »

greetings

I am running Debian Jessie 8.4 with the Xfce desktop. I have been learning C/C++ as a hobby and would like to add some basic GTK GUI programming to the picture.

Ideally I would like to install a Debian binary package using APT. I don't need the most up-to-date version of GTK+, so as far as I can tell I don't need to build from source.

The package libgtk-3-dev seems to be what I need, but I was hoping to get confirmation of this from the forum before I go ahead and install.

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/libgtk-3-dev

Hi,
Yes, this is what You need, but I would also consider installing the dbg info package, which is sometimes useful when using debugger:
