learning-c

just me learning basic c I just want to learn the basics and make a few small programs (most of my code is private this is not all I made in C)

If you want to try running some of the very simple programs I made you will need to have GTK installed on your system since I made a program to make a simple window with a few buttons to play around with it

Here are the instructions to install GCC & GTK on Linux, MacOs and Windows:

---

For Linux (Ubuntu/Debian-based):

Install GCC:

1. Update your package list:

   sudo apt update

2. Install GCC:

   sudo apt install build-essential

   This will install GCC along with other essential development tools.

3. Verify GCC installation:

   gcc --version

   This will display the installed version of GCC. If it says "unknown command" you will have to try installing it another way

Install GTK:

1. Install GTK development libraries: To install GTK 3 (the most commonly used version and the only one we need here):

   sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev

2. Verify GTK installation (for GTK 3):

   pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0

---

For Arch Linux:

1. Update your package database:

   sudo pacman -Syu

2. Install GCC:

   sudo pacman -S base-devel

   The base-devel package group includes GCC and other essential tools for development.

3. Verify GCC installation:

   gcc --version

2. Install GTK

1. Install GTK 3 (most commonly used):

   sudo pacman -S gtk3

2. Verify GTK installation: For GTK 3, you can check the installation with:

   pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0

After Installation:

Once installed, you can compile programs that use GTK with GCC. Here’s an example:

gcc `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0` my_program.c -o my_program `pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0`

This will compile my_program.c using the GTK 3 libraries.

For MacOs:

Install GCC:

1. Install Xcode Command Line Tools:

   xcode-select --install

2. Verify GCC installation:

   gcc --version

Install GTK:

1. Install Homebrew (if you don't have it installed):

   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

2. Install GTK using Homebrew: For GTK 3:

   brew install gtk+3

3. Verify GTK installation:

   pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0

For Windows

sigh Not only is your operating system closed-source but it's also bloated, filled with a bunch of ads, has a ton of included spyware and it's not even free. I won't type a single line of code for this operating system. With all the time it took to scroll down this page it probably took away one of your victory royale... I guess your bloated operating system supports Fortnite... You should go back to playing that instead of trying to run code made for the superior Unix like operating systems.
Windows bad.

I'd like to point out that I use FreeBSD and Arch btw...
