I want to develop using gtk in VSCode. I am using C language. I am experiencing error as while compiling it giving an error of
fatal error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory
My c_cpp_properties.json file
{
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Win32",
"includePath": [
"C:/Users/ac701/College/C C++",

}
Note: all path exist and are correct.
Note2: while hovering to at include part I seen which directory is needed by gtk.h I added them as shown in json file and after all that it started showing gtk/gtk.h is not a directory.
I copied an helloworld code from internet.
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
// Function to create the GUI
static void activate(GtkApplication *app, gpointer user_data) {
// Create a new window
GtkWidget *window = gtk_application_window_new(app);
gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window), "Hello World");
gtk_window_set_default_size(GTK_WINDOW(window), 200, 200);
// Create a label
GtkWidget *label = gtk_label_new("Hello, World!");
// Add the label to the window
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), label);
// Show all widgets
gtk_widget_show_all(window);
}
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
// Initialize GTK
GtkApplication *app = gtk_application_new("org.gtk.example", G_APPLICATION_FLAGS_NONE);
g_signal_connect(app, "activate", G_CALLBACK(activate), NULL);
int status = g_application_run(G_APPLICATION(app), argc, argv);
g_object_unref(app);
return status;
}
P.S. I am new to programming so I maybe getting something wrong. I have tried the solution of similar problem from Stackoverflow but it does not seem to work.
I tried similar solution from stack and also tried cmake thing but i just cant seem to make development environment to work.
I want to compile but it showing an error gtk/gtk.h
