| 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:

| |
| | |
| | |
| 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 your program, 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>
