glibmm is the official C++ interface for the popular cross-platform library Glib. It provides non-UI API that is not available in standard C++ and makes it possible for gtkmm to wrap GObject-based APIs. See also the Programming with gtkmm book for a tutorial on programming with gtkmm and glibmm.
giomm (part of the glibmm project) also contains:
Include the glibmm header, plus giomm if necessary:
#include <glibmm.h> #include <giomm.h>
(You may include individual headers, such as glibmm/ustring.h
instead.)
If your source file is program.cc
, you can compile it with:
g++ program.cc -o program `pkg-config --cflags --libs glibmm-2.4 giomm-2.4`
Alternatively, if using autoconf, use the following in configure.ac:
PKG_CHECK_MODULES([GLIBMM], [glibmm-2.4 giomm-2.4])
Then use the generated GLIBMM_CFLAGS
and GLIBMM_LIBS
variables in the project Makefile.am files. For example:
program_CPPFLAGS = $(GLIBMM_CFLAGS) program_LDADD = $(GLIBMM_LIBS)
