sbox-i686-linux-gcc: -lhildon-1: No such file or directory error
 

hi all,

I am trying to compile a file ( hildonmenu.c) that requires the hildon header file "hildon-program.h"
The source code includes the following line
#include <hildon/hildon-program.h>

I am compiling it with the following command
gcc -Wall `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 \ hildon-1` hildonmenu.c -o hildonmenu \ `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0 hildon-1`

I am getting the following error
sbox-i686-linux-gcc: -lhildon-1: No such file or directory

Can anyone please tell why this error is coming up and suggest a solution for this

Remove the backslashes ('\' characters). They are meant to indicate continuation if a command is split over several lines, but if you're entering the whole thing as a one-liner they are not needed.

@lma Thanks for the quick reply, removing the slashes solved the problem
