Let's keep these e-mails on the list, please. If you are using a tool like Dev-C++[1], there are pre-build packages for that IDE that are quite nice. See http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/packages/gtk.html . For use with Visual Studio, you just need to unpack the binary tarballs somewhere (say to a folder called c:\GTK) and then in your project you have to add all the libraries and add the include folder to your includes path. You can get these canonical binary tarballs from http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html . There are also some basic instructions on using them. You will need to download all of the dependencies on this page. GTK depends on a lot of utility libraries that don't ship with Visual Studio or windows. When it comes time to deploy your application, you will need to make sure that either your end users have the GTK runtime installed (there are a number of installers out there to ease this for users; see http://gaim.sf.net/win32) or you can bundle the GTK dlls in the appropriate folder structure in the folder where you app installs. GTK cannot and should not be statically linked.
