GTK+ gcc: undefined reference to all gtk functions when linking-Collection of common programming errors
I’m coding an interface with GTK+ for chat using XMPP protocol. My code worked fine when I compiled it like :
gcc login_gtk.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0`
But since I add my file to my project, and I’m using a Makefile, it doesn’t compile anymore. I guess the problem comes from my Makefile.
Compiler errors :

{
GtkWidget *pList;
pList = gtk_combo_box_text_new();
gtk_combo_box_text_append_text(GTK_COMBO_BOX_TEXT(pList), "LOCATION");

gtk_combo_box_set_active(GTK_COMBO_BOX(pList), 0);
gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX(pVBox), pList, FALSE, TRUE, 0);
}

The order is wrong: this is an incredibly common mistake I continue to meet. Previous versions of
gccwere less pick on the argument order and this spread the wrong idea--cflags --libstogether should work.Check out this email for info on proper flags ordering.

You haven’t included the libraries in your Makefile.
You must add
-L
