I believe that would be very helpful too. Thanks Sam and Dieter. By the way, I am also in the process of writing up a live.gnome.org page regarding compiling the GTK+ stack from a stock Visual C++ 2008/2010 installation-the page is https://live.gnome.org/MSVCCompilationOfGTKStack. It is not complete yet, and I know I am slow in getting it done, but anyways to let people know. Beware though, on the MSVC aspect, compiling the latest stable GLib (and possibly some or all of the GTK+ stack) out of the box is only possible on Visual C++ 2005 or later due to Windows API/CRT functions usage-and I can't say much about Visual C++ 2005 as I do not have that to test that VS version. > > Also, to clarify why I've started updating Tor's scripts: > - He used to make the binaries that are available on > www.gtk.org > and ftp.gnome.org, but has recently announced he is > no longer > interested in doing so [1].

I fully agree with this-though I wonder I have the chance to get him the beer face-to-face (I'm in another part of the world)-but anyways he does deserve *lots* of credit! :) > So my intent is to continue to update Tor's scripts and the > good old > gtk+-bundle for as long as relevant GTK+ 2.X releases are > made. Thank you for you work! (Even though I am not going by the MinGW/GCC path!) Might want to ask the others on this list about the status (or situation about how to provide) binaries of GTK+-3.x on Windows-please be aware that GTK+-3.x is less stable than GTK+-2.x on Windows at the moment though. > > Now, after all this discussing about build systems and > what-not, my > question still stands: is there interest in keeping the > binaries > on www.gtk.org and ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/ > up to date > for the remainder of GTK+-2.X's useful life? My guess is "yes"... Also I'd like to know whether there will be interest to add VS2010 project files to build GTK+-2.24.x-please let me know too! (Note: the VS2008 files cannot be upgraded to be used on VS2010 directly as there are a few items in there that must be edited beforehand) Thank you, and God bless -Chun-wei _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
