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 -o example -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==
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.
