Problems compiling graphviz examples

I want to implement and use Graphviz in my C program,So I started reading its the documentations.However I have even problems with example codes provided by Graphviz itself
sample codes are here .and i get the following errors when i try to run the make command (OS:fedora 35):

cc `pkg-config libgvc --cflags` -Wall -g -O2   -c -o dot.o dot.c
cc `pkg-config libgvc  --libs`  dot.o   -o dot

demo.c: In function ‘main’:

      |                     AGRAPH

anybody?

It seems that the examples on the web page are obsolete. They seem to be made for a much earlier version of the library named Libgraph. The modern version is Cgraph. See doc/libgraph/Agraph.pdf · main · graphviz / graphviz · GitLab chapter 14 on page 20.

You can find up-to-date examples at dot.demo · main · graphviz / graphviz · GitLab.
