  35 <p>
  36 To compile a GMime application, you need to tell the compiler where to
  37 find the GMime header files and libraries. This is done with the
  38 <code class="literal">pkg-config</code> utility.
  39 </p>
  40 <p>
  41 The following interactive shell session demonstrates how
  42 <code class="literal">pkg-config</code> is used:
  43 </p>
  44 <pre class="programlisting">
  45 $ pkg-config --cflags gmime-2.4
  46  -I/usr/include/gmime-2.4 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include
  47 $ pkg-config --libs gmime-2.4
  48  -L/opt/gnome2/lib -lgmime-2.4 -lnsl -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0
  49 </pre>
  50 <p>
  51 </p>
  52 <p>
  53 The simplest way to compile a program is to use the "backticks"
  54 feature of the shell. If you enclose a command in backticks
  55 (<span class="emphasis"><em>not single quotes</em></span>), then its output will be
  56 substituted into the command line before execution. So to compile
  57 a GTK+ Hello, World, you would type the following:
  58 </p>
  59 <pre class="programlisting">
  60 $ cc `pkg-config --cflags --libs gmime-2.4` hello.c -o hello
  61 </pre>
