How to compile Cogl hello example
My environment is Fedora 21, i play around with hello tutorial from http://www.cogl3d.org/hello.html, it shows:
Building the example
If you save the above code to a file named hello.c then you can compile the example as follows:
gcc -o hello hello.c
pkg-config --cflags --libs cogl2 glib-2.0
but where can i find cogl2 library ?
If i doesn't include cogl library:
[xiaobai@xiaobai cogl]$ gcc -o hello hello.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0`
hello.c:1:23: fatal error: cogl/cogl.h: No such file or directory
#include <cogl/cogl.h>
^
compilation terminated.
[xiaobai@xiaobai cogl]$
i tried dnf search cogl but there's only cogl, no such thing cogl2:
[xiaobai@xiaobai cogl]$ dnf search cogl
[sudo] password for xiaobai:
================================================================= N/S Matched: cogl ==================================================================

cogl-devel.i686 : cogl development environment
[xiaobai@xiaobai cogl]$
I also search for cogl.h, no such cogl2 too:
[xiaobai@xiaobai yum]$ dnf provides */cogl.h

Repo : fedora
cogl-devel-1.18.2-9.fc21.x86_64 : cogl development environment
Repo : fedora
[xiaobai@xiaobai yum]$
I can't use pkg-config to find neither cogl nor cogl2:
[xiaobai@xiaobai cogl]$ pkg-config --cflags --libs cogl2 cogl
Package cogl2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `cogl2.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'cogl2' found
Package cogl was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `cogl.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'cogl' found
[xiaobai@xiaobai cogl]$
So i simply tried cogl:
$ gcc -o hello hello.c
pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0-I/usr/include/cogl/
, it shows a lot of error messages:
[xiaobai@xiaobai cogl]$ gcc -o hello hello.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0` -I/usr/include/cogl/

Any help is much appreciate.
[UPDATE] i've tried @CYB3R solution but still no luck:
[xiaobai@xiaobai cogl]$ pkg-config --cflags --libs cogl-2.0-experimental glib-2.0
-pthread -I/usr/include/cogl -I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -I/usr/include/libpng16 -I/usr/include/libdrm -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -lcogl -lgmodule-2.0 -pthread -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lwayland-egl -lwayland-client -lgbm -ldrm -lwayland-server -lEGL -lX11 -lXext -lXdamage -lXfixes -lXcomposite -lXrandr -lglib-2.0

hello.c:46:17: error: unknown type name ‘CoglFrameEvent’
CoglFrameEvent event,

... #same errors like previous
[xiaobai@xiaobai cogl]$
Solution
First step, recognize it missing type name CoglOnscreen:
[xiaobai@xiaobai cogl]$ gcc -pthread -I/usr/include/cogl -I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -I/usr/include/libpng16 -I/usr/include/libdrm -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -lcogl -lgmodule-2.0 -pthread -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lwayland-egl -lwayland-client -lgbm -ldrm -lwayland-server -lEGL -lX11 -lXext -lXdamage -lXfixes -lXcomposite -lXrandr -lglib-2.0 hello.c
hello.c:45:17: error: unknown type name ‘CoglOnscreen’
frame_event_cb (CoglOnscreen *onscreen,
^
hello.c:46:17: error: unknown type name ‘CoglFrameEvent’
CoglFrameEvent event,
^
Now i know CoglOnscreen supposed to be located somewhere, so i tried search "CoglOnscreen" keyword inside include dir:
[xiaobai@xiaobai cogl]$ grep -rnI CoglOnscreen /usr/include/cogl/cogl/*
/usr/include/cogl/cogl/cogl-context.h:250: * @COGL_FEATURE_ID_BUFFER_AGE: Available if the age of #CoglOnscreen back
/usr/include/cogl/cogl/cogl-display.h:91: * @onscreen_template: A #CoglOnscreenTemplate
/usr/include/cogl/cogl/cogl-display.h:130: CoglOnscreenTemplate *onscreen_template);
/usr/include/cogl/cogl/cogl-display.h:149: * @onscreen_template: A template for creating #CoglOnscreen framebuffers
/usr/include/cogl/cogl/cogl-display.h:151: * Specifies a template for creating #CoglOnscreen framebuffers.
/usr/include/cogl/cogl/cogl-display.h:153: * Depending on the system, the constraints for creating #CoglOnscreen
/usr/include/cogl/cogl/cogl-display.h:164: CoglOnscreenTemplate *onscreen_template);
/usr/include/cogl/cogl/cogl-framebuffer.h:79: * There are two kinds of framebuffer in Cogl, #CoglOnscreen
/usr/include/cogl/cogl/cogl-framebuffer.h:85: * rendering to a #CoglOnscreen framebuffer will be immediately
/usr/include/cogl/cogl/cogl-framebuffer.h:89: * looking at the #CoglOnscreen and #CoglOffscreen constructor
/usr/include/cogl/cogl/cogl-framebuffer.h:1657: * already implicitly discard when you finish rendering to a #CoglOnscreen
/usr/include/cogl/cogl/cogl-frame-info.h:80: * Gets the frame counter for the #CoglOnscreen that corresponds
/usr/include/cogl/cogl/cogl-gles2.h:198: * #CoglOffscreen framebuffers (Rendering to #CoglOnscreen
/usr/include/cogl/cogl/cogl-kms-display.h:48: * #CoglOnscreen swap_buffers request. For applications that support
/usr/include/cogl/cogl/cogl-onscreen.h:52:typedef struct _CoglOnscreen CoglOnscreen;
...
The last line above shown that "cogl-onscreen.h" have CoglOnscreen defined. So i search for cogl-onscreen.h:
[xiaobai@xiaobai cogl]$ grep -rnI 'cogl-onscreen.h' /usr/include/cogl/cogl/*
/usr/include/cogl/cogl/cogl.h:133:#include <cogl/cogl-onscreen.h>
[xiaobai@xiaobai cogl]$
vi /usr/include/cogl/cogl/cogl.h and search for "cogl-onscreen.h" keyword:
...
/*
* 2.0 api that's compatible with the 1.x api...
*/
#if defined (COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API)
#include <cogl/cogl-swap-chain.h>

#include <cogl/cogl-pipeline-layer-state.h>
#include <cogl/cogl-snippet.h>
#include <cogl/cogl-framebuffer.h>
#include <cogl/cogl-onscreen.h>
...
On the top got "#if defined (COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API)". So now i know i have to give it COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API defined in order to include cogl-onscreen.h.
Search again with "COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API" as keyword:
#ifdef COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_2_0_API
#ifndef COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API
#define COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API
#endif
#endif
That's the end, i need to add -D COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_2_0_API:
$ gcc -D COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_2_0_API -o hello hello.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs cogl-2.0-experimental`
Available options for pkg-config can be figure out by autocomplete:
[xiaobai@xiaobai cogl]$ pkg-config --cflags --libs cogl-[Press Tab]
cogl-1.0 cogl-pango-1.0 cogl-path-2.0-experimental
cogl-2.0-experimental cogl-pango-2.0-experimental
cogl-gl-1.0 cogl-path-1.0
