Post by Leopard2A5 »

I use Ubuntu Hardy with gcc, IDE is Code::Blocks.

There are no project files for the examples with C::B under Linux, but you can just take the Makefiles which are all working as expected. If you IDE cannot use external Makefiles you should at least use the information about additional libraries necessary for compilation from the Makefiles.
