Package gtk+-3.0 was not found... #56

Closed cydside closed 3 years ago

cydside commented 3 years ago

Hi, I just run go run main.go on the package example dialog/example/simple/main.go receiving the following messages:

pkg-config --cflags -- gtk+-3.0
Package gtk+-3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing gtk+-3.0.pc
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-3.0' found
pkg-config: exit status 1

On a Linux Mint amd64 machine with libgtk-3-0 already updated to (3.22.30-1ubuntu4). Could you please suggest a solution?

You're missing the development files for libgtk-3. In ubuntu they come in a separate package libgtk-3-dev.

Note that you will always need the -dev package when you're compiling code against a library.
