GTK build missing include file gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.h

I have installed GTK, following the instructions here: http://www.gtk.org/download/win32_tutorial.php

Now I am trying to build a GTK hello world program from here: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk-tutorial/stable/c39.html#SEC-HELLOWORLD

I hit this error:

In file included from C:/gtk/include/gtk-3.0/gdk/gdkcairo.h:28:0,
                 from C:/gtk/include/gtk-3.0/gdk/gdk.h:33,
                 from C:/gtk/include/gtk-3.0/gtk/gtk.h:30,
                 from gtk_hello_world.c:1:
C:/gtk/include/gtk-3.0/gdk/gdkpixbuf.h:34:35: fatal error: gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf
.h: No such file or directory
 #include <gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.h>
                          ^

This seems to be the same problem as How to repair "error: gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixdata.h: No such file or directory?" but I do not understand the answer to that question.

Here is the command line to the compiler

C:\Users\James\code\smartone>gcc -o hello.exe gtk_hello_world.c -m32 -mms-bitfie
lds -IC:/gtk/include/gtk-3.0 -IC:/gtk/include/cairo -IC:/gtk/include/pango-1.0 -

C:/gtk/include/libpng15 -IC:/gtk/include/glib-2.0 -IC:/gtk/lib/glib-2.0/include

o-1.0 -lm -latk-1.0 -lcairo-gobject -lcairo -lgdkpixbuf-2.0 -lgio-2.0 -lgobject-
2.0 -lglib-2.0

This was mostly generated using 

pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0
-mms-bitfields -IC:/gtk/include/gtk-3.0 -IC:/gtk/include/cairo -IC:/gtk/include/

I know this question is extremely old, but I ran into this error while compiling xscreensaver from source on Debian Stretch and found that the missing package was libglade2-dev, despite all intuition that might suggest it is libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev

Hope this might help the next guy looking for an answer to this one.

We need the exact gcc command line that caused the error. If the file is not found, it's because pkg-config couldn't pass to gcc the right location of your gdk-pixbuf installation.

First run pkg-config --list-all | grep gdk-pixbuf to get the exact name of the gdk-pixbuf module on you machine (for me it's gdk-pixbuf-2.0). The use that name, to check what directory pkg-config thinks gdk-pixbuf is installed:

pkg-config --cflags gdk-pixbuf-2.0

returns for me:

-pthread -I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -I/usr/include/libpng15 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include

The -I tells here to gcc to include directory /usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0. And this is where your file are not.
