Compiling Pigment ApplicationsCompiling Pigment Applications — Compile your Pigment applications. |
To compile a Pigment application, you need to tell the compiler where to
find the Pigment header files and libraries. This is done with the
pkg-config
utility.
The following interactive shell session demonstrates how
pkg-config
is used (the actual output on
your system may be different):
$ pkg-config --cflags pigment-0.3 -I/usr/include/pigment-0.3 $ pkg-config --libs pigment-0.3 -L/usr/lib -lpigment-0.3
The simplest way to compile a program is to use the "backticks" feature of the shell. If you enclose a command in backticks (not single quotes), then its output will be substituted into the command line before execution. So to compile a Pigment "Hello World", you would type the following:
$ cc `pkg-config --cflags --libs pigment-0.3 ` hello.c -o hello
