Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable...

This is the error I got while compiling:

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GTK_CFLAGS
and GTK_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Installing "gnome-core-devel" was the solution for my problem:

sudo apt-get install gnome-core-devel

How to use diff and patch in bash script

Diff and patch commands can be used to compare differences of files and change the content based on that. You can see something similar in SVN or wikis.

How to make and use .patch script:

You have to have the original version of file and the edited version of the same file. Then you can make .patch file about the differences with this command:

diff -u /original/file/location /edited/file/location > patch_file_name.patch

You can use the created .patch file on any file with this command:

patch /file/that/will/be/patched < location/of/patch/file.patch
