Could you include a link to the program you’re trying to build, and show the commands you used to try to build it?Stephen Kitt– Stephen Kitt2023-03-29 17:00:31 +00:00Commented Mar 29, 2023 at 17:00

Yes. the program is the one on their website: gtk.org , the C verison. I used gcc program.c -o program. Also I have tried to include the path /usr/linclude/gtk-4 with -I flag, but this doesn´t work either. Then I have tried to set the C_INCLUDE_PATH, without success, then I have tried to download the files from the installation site and compile them but just errors all over the place...Kauabanga– Kauabanga2023-03-29 17:25:59 +00:00Commented Mar 29, 2023 at 17:25

If you need a specialised build environment, or just want to try newer versions of stuff without risking your system then use a VM. That's one of the things they're for. e.g. create a VM and install Debian 12 (bookworm) on it.

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
