| 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.

| ==Using the Code Samples==
| |
| To use the code sample from the [{{server}}/?view=code_samples&lang=C Code Samples] page, you can click the '''Download Example''' button to download a C file with the sample code.

| Once you have the example, you can compile and run your code:

| | |
| ==Compile and Run==
| |
| | |
| 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>
| |
| | |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| ==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>
