<para>
To compile a GMime application, you need to tell the compiler where to
find the GMime header files and libraries. This is done with the
<literal>pkg-config</literal> utility.
</para>
<para>
The following interactive shell session demonstrates how
<literal>pkg-config</literal> is used:
<programlisting>
$ pkg-config --cflags gmime-3.0
-I/usr/include/gmime-3.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include
$ pkg-config --libs gmime-3.0
-L/opt/gnome2/lib -lgmime-3.0 -lnsl -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
The simplest way to compile a program is to use the "backticks"
feature of the shell. If you enclose a command in backticks
(<emphasis>not single quotes</emphasis>), then its output will be
substituted into the command line before execution. So to compile
a GTK+ Hello, World, you would type the following:
<programlisting>
$ cc `pkg-config --cflags --libs gmime-3.0` hello.c -o hello
</programlisting>
</para>
