Undefined reference to 'glib'

I would like to parse a config file using glib in Codeblocks which I use. So I want to do exactly the example which is described here first. I have a file named myconfig.cfg and and a code programming.c. I just copy and paste the code to see if glib works but unfortunately it does not work. I did the installation of glib2.0 using sudo apt-get, I found where are the libs in glibs using 

pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0

and in this path 

project->Build Options->Compiler Settings-> Other Options

I added 

-I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/arm-linuxgnuebihf/glib-2.0/include

When I build and run the programming.c I have these errors

-------------- Build: Debug in programming ---------------
gcc -Wall  -g -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/glib-2.0/include  -std=c99    -c /home/pi/Desktop/programming/main.c -o obj/Debug/main.o

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Am I missing something? I tried also to do in the same way with libconfig but again I have undefined reference. Is the problem the path?

UPDATE

With the usage of pkg-config --libs glib-2.0 it returns me -lglib-2.0

In Codeblocks I inserted it(lglib-2.0) in 

project->Build Options->Linker Settings-> Link Libraries

and now I have this error:

**(process:3751): ERROR ** No such file or directory  
Trace/breakpoint trap

You are not linking against the library, which is why you're getting linker errors ("undefined reference").

Check the output of pkg-config --libs glib-2.0, without --cflags, and make sure it's incorporated in your project settings somehow.
