C++ GTK make MinGW error simple program - c++

Question

I really need help on getting a simple GTK program in c++ running using MinGW. Here's my program:
# Makefile for Hello World Program (lab0).
all: lab0
lab0: lab0.o
g++ -Wall lab0.o -o lab0 -L C:/Users/Vic/Desktop/MinGW/lib -lgtk
lab0.o: lab0.c
g++ -Wall -I C:/Users/Vic/Desktop/MinGW/include/gtk-2.0/gtk -c lab0.c -o lab0.o
Program:
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
GtkWidget *window;
GtkWidget *label;
gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
/* create the main, top level, window */
window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
/* give it the title */
gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (window), "Hello World");
/* Connect the destroy signal of the window to gtk_main_quit
* When the window is about to be destroyed we get a notification and
* stop the main GTK+ loop
*/
g_signal_connect (window, "destroy", G_CALLBACK (gtk_main_quit), NULL);
/* Create the "Hello, World" label */
label = gtk_label_new ("Hello, World");
/* and insert it into the main window */
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), label);
/* make sure that everything, window and label, are visible */
gtk_widget_show_all (window);
/* start the main loop, and let it rest there until the application is closed */
gtk_main ();
return 0;
}
when i compile this using minGW i get this error:
g++ -Wall lab0.o -o lab0 -LC:/users/vic/desktop/mingw/lib -lgtk
/bin/Id: cannot find -lgtk
collect2: Id returned 1 exit status
make: *** [lab0] Error 1
I need to fix this problem and I need to figure out how to run gtk from my makefile.

Ideally, you would use pkg-config to help you find the header and library paths:
g++ -Wall lab0.o -o lab0 `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-win32-2.0`
Or just the library path:
g++ -Wall lab0.o -o lab0 -LC:/users/vic/desktop/mingw/lib -lgtk `pkg-config --libs gtk+-win32-2.0`
