Description Oscar 2017-08-20 22:21:20 UTC 
Please visit page: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/ch01s03.html
That's the page for example number 3 but the source code and build instructions refer to example-4.c.

Looks like it should be example-3.c instead.
Comment 1 Daniel Boles 2017-08-22 13:12:30 UTC 
the cause here is probably just sections getting rearranged but example file names not being updated; examples seem to be auto-numbered, whereas commands, filenames, etc are manually typed.


example-3 is currently used in https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/ch01s05.html

https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-getting-started.html#id-1.2.3.5 uses example-0.c, so I wonder how much correspondence there ever was here; Example 0 obviously probably did not ever exist...

I guess a patch to fix this by checking what example numbers are used throughout, and updating all filenames to match, would be welcome - but as long as the examples still compile and run as intended, it's not the end of the world, though confusing
