| Welcome to using Phidgets with C! By using C, you will have access to the complete Phidget22 API, including events.
| |
| | |
| GCC is a compiler system for originally written for GNU, and is the standard compiler on unix-like operating systems like Linux. It allows compilation of C programs from the command line.

| ==Use Our Examples==
| |
| One of the best ways to start programming with Phidgets is to use our example code as a guide. You likely have gcc installed on your Linux machine already, but if not, you can easily get it by entering the following command in the terminal:
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang='C'>
| |
| apt-get install gcc
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| | |
| Next, select an example that will work with your Phidget:

| *{{SampleCode|C|C Examples}}
| |
| | |
| | |
| To compile the example, enter the following command in the terminal:
| |
| | |
| <syntaxhighlight lang='bash'>
| |
| gcc example.c ../Common/PhidgetHelperFunctions.c -o example -I../Common -lphidget22
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| After compiling, you can run the program by entering the following command in the terminal:
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang='bash'>
| |
| ./example
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>

| ==Setting up a New Project==
| |
| To compile C programs, you will need gcc. You likely have gcc installed on your Linux machine already, but if not, you can easily get it by entering the following command in the terminal:
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang='C'>
| |
| apt-get install gcc
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| When you are building a project from scratch, or adding Phidget functionality to an existing project, you'll need to configure your development environment to properly link the Phidget C library.
| |
| | |
| To include the Phidget C library, add the following line to your code:
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang='C'>
| |
| #include <phidget22.h>
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| To compile the program, enter the following command in the terminal, substituting "example" for the name of your C file:
| |
| | |
| <syntaxhighlight lang='bash'>
| |
| gcc example.c -o example -lphidget22
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| After compiling, you can run the program by entering the following command in the terminal:
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang='bash'>
| |
| ./example
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| Success! The project now has access to Phidgets.
