title: problem including gtk/gtk.h file not found windows 10 Visual Studio Code
body: <p>There seems to be a problem floating around for some people using VSCode.  I have confirmed the installation of GTK with the terminal window and everything went well.</p>
  <p>I wrote a quick program in C to read an address and print it back.  It compiles and runs (<strong>without the &quot;#include &lt;gtk.gtk.h&quot;&gt;</strong>) creating the .exe file so I can confirm VScode is installed correctly.</p>
  <pre><code>#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
  #include &lt;gtk/gtk.h&gt;
  
  int main()
  {
  
      int var = 20; /* variable declaration*/
      int *ip;      /* pointer variable declaration */
  
      ip = &amp;var; /* store the address of var in pointer variable */
  
      printf(&quot;Address of var variable:  %x\n&quot;, &amp;var);
  
      /* address stored in the pointer variable */
      printf(&quot;Address stored in ip the pointer variable: %x\n&quot;, ip);
  
      /* access the variable the *ip variable points to */
      printf(&quot;Value of *ip variable: %d\n&quot;, *ip);
  
      return 0;
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>When I add the #include &lt;gtk/gtk.h&gt;  statement, I get the error that it cannot be found.   &gt;#include errors detected. Please update your includePath.&lt;</p>
  <p>I used the command &quot;pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0&quot; in a terminal to create the path in c-cpp.json file</p>

  <p>the directory gtk is in the C:/msys64/mingw64/include/gtk-3.0 directory and the gtk.h file is in the gtk directory. Intellisense even prompted for the directory and file.</p>
