It was a fairly long process to get it to work, namely debugging the outputs of the 'configure' script and the 'make' command to make sure I had everything in order.
While going through the process, the biggest problem was making sure I had all the right utilities in place so that the 'configure' script works properly. Debugging basically involved browsing through the 'config.log' file to see where the mistakes were. A few stumbling blocks for me were: 1) X11 Parser not found (I ended up installing perl from ActiveState to get that to work) 2) I believe I was also missing the 'gettext' program. 3) Other important utilities like 'ar' need to be present on your system - they're typically found under 'binutils' on the mingw download site. And lastly, the 'dlltool' which I already mentioned was tough to debug because it involved my learning how libtool works plus the warning messages weren't too meaningful. I'm sure different people are going to have different stumbling blocks depending on how each person set up their system. But, the bottom line I suppose, is that it can be made to work under windows if you start compiling from the gtk-engines source code. Dan had given me hope when he said it worked for him, so I ploughed through it till it finally worked for me. Hope this helps.

Did you do something else in addition? _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
