Which package provides lgtk-3 on Ubuntu 18.04? Trying to compile c program "Hello World" :

>> gcc -Wall -g helloworld.c -o helloworld `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0` \
   `pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0`
gcc: error:  -lgtk-3: No such file or directory

gtk+-3.0.pc contains line:

I have tried all ubuntu searches as others suggested but I have gotten no matches. Can not find lgtk-3! Libs: -L${libdir} -lgtk-3

causing the error. Obvious I have not downloaded all GTK libraries required. What am I missing?

Went back and downloaded gtk+3.0_3.22.30.orig.tar.xz and performed a re-install. This cleared up the missing library problem.

What you are missing is the knowledge of how to use gcc properly. Your command is incorrect. – fkraiem Apr 09 '19 at 21:46
Welcome to AskUbuntu! What happens if you gcc -o helloworld helloworld.c & ./helloworld ? – Elder Geek Apr 13 '19 at 00:02

@wjandrea Oops! So true. Backgrounding the compile wasn't at all what I had in mind as you so correctly surmised. Thank you for that correction. – Elder Geek Apr 14 '19 at 18:29
