Please read this FIRST
I have posted similar request in Eclipse forum and getting no response there.

I need help with implementation of pkg-config ESPECIALLY in Eclipse IDE.

I am looking for somebody who actually and successfully use / used "pkg-config" in Eclipse IDE.
( Please no RTFM or "I told you so..." ).

Since this is my first usage of 'pkg-config" I am not sure if Eclipse will work or if I am missing some option / command.

Any constructive help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

What I have tried:

I have added `pkg-config....` to both complier options and linker options. I get no error in make verbose output. I can see all required includes and libraries and still getting "undefined reference " as build error.

Here is my actual linker option

-v `pkg-config gtk+-3.0 --cflags --libs --print_errors `

As expected - pkg-config DOES NOT integrate with just any Eclipse version / release.
I got it working as expected in 2018-09!

Why should I accept my own "answer"? Let's not get too hang up on procedures. So if you obviously look at the answer, why don't you save ( my ) time and accept it?
