Result Variables

The following variables will be defined for your use

GTK2_FOUND

Were all of your specified components found?

GTK2_INCLUDE_DIRS

All include directories

GTK2_LIBRARIES

All libraries

GTK2_TARGETS

Added in version 3.5: All imported targets

GTK2_DEFINITIONS

Additional compiler flags

GTK2_VERSION

The version of GTK2 found (x.y.z)

GTK2_MAJOR_VERSION

The major version of GTK2

GTK2_MINOR_VERSION

The minor version of GTK2

GTK2_PATCH_VERSION

The patch version of GTK2

Added in version 3.5: When GTK2_USE_IMPORTED_TARGETS is set to TRUE, GTK2_LIBRARIES will list imported targets instead of library paths.

Input Variables

Optional variables you can define prior to calling this module:

GTK2_DEBUG

Enables verbose debugging of the module

GTK2_ADDITIONAL_SUFFIXES

Allows defining additional directories to search for include files

Example Usage

Call find_package() once. Here are some examples to pick from:

Require GTK 2.6 or later:

find_package(GTK2 2.6 REQUIRED gtk)

Require GTK 2.10 or later and Glade:

find_package(GTK2 2.10 REQUIRED gtk glade)

Search for GTK/GTKMM 2.8 or later:

find_package(GTK2 2.8 COMPONENTS gtk gtkmm)

Use the results:

if(GTK2_FOUND)
  include_directories(${GTK2_INCLUDE_DIRS})
  add_executable(mygui mygui.cc)
  target_link_libraries(mygui ${GTK2_LIBRARIES})
endif()
