Visual ( nothing here )
Files ( main )
D-Libs ( m ) = maths 'libm.so' dynamic library added automatically by the new project process.
I-Libs ( Internal Static libraries, but nothing here, yet. )
INCLUDES ( nothing here )

Click on the 'TXT' Toolbutton and open 'main.c' and edit it to be the same as follows, then click on the 'Build' Toolbutton,

Filename	Contents
main.c	#include <stdio.h> #include <stdarg.h> #include <glib.h> // this is added so that we can link to the external dynamic library 'glib-2.0' to use it's 'g_print()' function. int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { // output 'Hello World' using the 'g_print()' function g_print("\nHello World!\n); // modified existing 'printf()' function. return(0); }

Hint: Make sure that there is a blank line above and below your source code in case the compiler you are using complains!
( a completed copy of this project is stored in -/SIDE/DEMOS/CLC/Includes for your reference in case of trouble )
Note: Notice that files and filenames mentioned here are 'case sensitive' !!!!!

Step-2 Add in the dynamic library to link to ( glib )

HINT: In this and the next step just copy and paste the entries instead of trying to do it manually to prevent errors!

From the Main Menue click on 'Project>Libraries>Add Library>Add Dynamic' and enter the library glib-2.0 into the Dialog
and click on 'OK', the IDE will now rebuild the project,
You still have to add the 'Include search paths' which we will do next..

Step-3 Add in the 'Include' search path for ( glib )

Click on 'Project>Includes>Add Include Directory' and add /usr/lib/glib-2.0/include
and click on 'OK' once only.
The next dialog comes up which asks wether you wish to rebuild the project, click on cancel as we have another path to add.
Click on 'Project>Includes>Add Include Directory' and add /usr/include/glib-2.0
The next dialog comes up which asks wether you wish to rebuild the project, click on 'OK', the IDE will now rebuild the project,

Step-4 Result of building and running the program,

On building the program notice in the 'Output Window' the lines

libtool: link: gcc -Wall -g -g -O2 -o includes main.o /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so -lm

It shows that we are linking to the 'glib' dynamic library at runtime.
On running the program we get the following or something similar ( don't forget the './' dot forward slash before the program name. ),
