Usually, it helps to say exactly what happened, e.g. error messages.

You need to specify the appropriate compiler/linker switches.

For GTK 1.x, you can use "gtk-config --cflags" to obtain the necessary
compiler switches and "gtk-config --libs" for the linker switches.

For GTK 2.x, use "pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0" and
"pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0" instead.

For a "standard" GTK 1.x installation, it is usually sufficient to add
-I/usr/lib/glib/include to the compiler switches and -lgtk to the
linker switches.

OTOH, GTK 2.x often requires a lot of switches, so I suggest running
pkg-config from the Makefile, e.g.:

	GTKFLAGS	:= $(shell pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0)
	GTKLIBS		:= $(shell pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0)

Note the use of ":=" rather than "=", so that the command is only run
once, not every time the variable is used.
