How to compile C and Gtk + with GCC on Linux?

I searched and searched, but I do not get the information that I really want. Can someone explain, as far as possible, completely and fundamentally how to compile Gtk + code when writing to C using GCC in Linux. There are things like backticks, "c99" and .o files that I don’t understand at all.

I also appreciate any resources for learning Gtk + code. All the sources that I found relate to versions 2.x, but I think 3.6 is the current version.

I would like to repeat, I am only interested in the C code. Please do not try to explain to me the advantages of C ++ or C #, I read all of them. I am here for C. Thank you!

From the Gtk Docs Getting Started Document :

gcc `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0` -o example example.c `pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0`

Also check out Nikos C. Aswer to learn more about pkg-config.
