Code GTK 3 in C with VSCode

Kick off VSCode for C and GTK 3.

Prerequisites

Compiler

GCC and Clang

Build Tools

pkg-config and GNU Make

Used Extension

Name: C/C++
Id: ms-vscode.cpptools
Description: C/C++ IntelliSense, debugging, and code browsing.
Version: 0.26.2
Publisher: Microsoft
VS Marketplace Link: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.cpptools

Config

see:
.vscode/c_cpp_properties.json

That is basically:
pkg-config --libs --cflags gtk+-3.0

Where your glibconfig.h lives:
/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include/

And the output from
cpp -v

That is my include search path for the C preprocessor:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/9.2.0/include
/usr/local/include
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/9.2.0/include-fixed
/usr/include
