Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

Try setting CXXFLAGS in addition to CFLAGS.

Michael Daum 2010-03-02 20:15:16

Actually, CXXFLAGS is for the C++ compiler. Maybe you mean CPPFLAGS? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/495598/difference-between-cppflags-and-cxxflags-in-gnu-make

Answer 2

+5 A:

Backticks aren't how you run shell commands in a Makefile. Your CFLAGS and LDFLAGS lines should probably look like

CFLAGS=-g -Wall $(shell pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 webkit-1.0)
LDFLAGS+=$(shell pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0 webkit-1.0)

While you are correct you need `$(shell ...)` to get the command to run in the Makefile, there is nothing wrong with using backticks. With backticks, make will pass the command lines with the backtick to the shell and the shell will handle that before invoking the compiler.

there is no changes are got up

there is no wrong in the make file the error is in the system environment so who can i change it to have it run

@R Samuel Klatchko: You're correct. I forgot about that behavior.

jamessan 2010-03-02 21:26:19

Also, using `$(shell ...)` instead of backticks means that pkg-config is only called twice (once for CFLAGS and once for LDFLAGS), instead of twice for every invocation of `$(CC)`.

Answer 3

+1 A:

The only include path you have specified is /usr/include, therefore it will look fo rthe files at:

/usr/include/gtk/gtk.h
/usr/include/webkit/webkit.h

Unless you have additional paths specifies in the either of the CPATH, or C_INCLUDE_PATH environment variables.

Add usr/lib/pkgconfig as a -I path.

Clifford 2010-03-02 20:57:32

`$(CFLAGS)` contains additional `-I` directives as returned from pkg-config which will specify where to find the gtk and webkit headers.

jamessan 2010-03-02 21:24:52

@jamessan: Except if that had worked and the files were present, it would have found them, so to add it manually is a useful investigation if not a permanent solution.

Answer 4

+1 A:

Do you actually have gtk/gtk.h and webkit/webkit.h in /usr/include directory? Are the development packages providing them installed?

Dmitry Yudakov 2010-03-02 20:59:47

Yes, i have this files under the include dir

2010-03-02 21:23:42

Having /usr/include/gtk/gtk.h and /usr/include/webkit/webkit.h and having changed \`...\` to $(shell ...) you should not have a problem, this makefile works with this change.
