| 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. It is available on Windows by using tools like MinGW or Cygwin to allow 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. In order to run the examples, you will need to download and install either [http://www.mingw.org/ MinGW] or [https://www.cygwin.com/ Cygwin].
| |
| | |
| | |
| Now that you have either MinGW or Cygwin installed, select an example that will work with your Phidget:
| |
| *{{SampleCode|C|C Examples}}
| |
| | |
| | |
| If you are using Cygwin, navigate to the folder where the example is and open the command prompt. Enter the following command to compile the example:
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang='bash'>
| |
| gcc example.c -o example -I"/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Phidgets/Phidget22" -L"/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Phidgets/Phidget22/x86" -lphidget22
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| | |
| If you are using MinGW, navigate to the folder where the example is and open the command prompt. Enter the following command to compile the example:
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang='bash'>
| |
| gcc example.c -o example -I"C:/Program Files/Phidgets/Phidget22" -L"C:/Program Files/Phidgets/Phidget22/x86" -lphidget22
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| After running the commands above for either Cygwin or MinGW, an executable file called ''example.exe'' will be created. Enter the following command to run the example:
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang='bash'>
| |
| example.exe
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>

| ==Setting up a New Project==
| |
| 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>
| |
| | |
| You can now compile the file as shown in the [[#Use Our Examples|Use Our Examples]] section.
| |
| | |
| The project now has access to Phidgets.
