Ok, after much, thought i decided that it would be better to learn GTK over V C++ with MFC, due to the limited use of VC++. So I went, downloaded GTKmm, installed it (got all instructions from here :
http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/.../html/ape.html)
Anyway, the instructions are for specifically setting it up for use with Dev-cpp IDE, and the first step they list is to use the command:
pkg-config --cflags gtkmm-2.4
of course, does this work? No. OS I guide to the bin folder as per instructions, still doesnt work. So found another site(cant find it in my history right now) that said to use the command you could/should install msys(by minGW) or cygwin. So I installed msys, still doesnt work. Anyone have any idea what i should do to use pkg-config, or another way to use gtkmm with Bloodshed dev-cpp?
Much thanks
