I'm trying to compile the simple.cc example:

#include <gtkmm.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::Application> app =
    Gtk::Application::create(argc, argv,
      "org.gtkmm.examples.base");

//  Gtk::ApplicationWindow window; It seems that this line is incorrect in the example.
  Gtk::Window window;

  return app->run(window);
}

Taken from the gtkmm documentation.

CONSOLE

I've tried to compile this program from terminal/console with this command line instruction:

g++ simple.cc -o simple `pkg-config gtkmm-3.0 --cflags --libs`

And it generate the output. Then I run it and it works as it should.

ECLIPSE

Then I try to do the same but on eclipse, I create a new C++ Proyect, then I add the simple.cc file.

After that I change the build options adding the following instructions:

`pkg-config --cflags gtkmm-3.0` on GCC C++ Compiler > Miscelaneous
`pkg-config --libs gtkmm-3.0` on GCC C++ Linker > Miscelaneous

When I try to compilet it have to following message:

**** Build Finished ****

I've search a lot of forums messages but I haven't reached the solution. It seems like a linker problem but I can't solve it.
