Re: using app in Windows

[edward hage <edha xs4all nl>]

Hello Allin,

I downloaded mingw32-linux=x86-glibc-2.3.tar.gz from 
http://www.libsdl.org/extras/wind32/cross and unpacked it.

I have a simple program which I want to test on Windows. The program
exists of two c-files, namely: functie.c and sim.c with in sim.c the GTK+2.0 stuff.

>> i386-mingw32msvc-gcc -c functie.c -o functie_win.o
>> i386-mingw32msvc-gcc -c sim.c -o sim_win.o `pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --cflags`
so far so good ....
>> i386-mingw32msvc-gcc sim_win.o functie_win.o -o sim.exe `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0`

/home/edward/cross-tools/bin/../lib/gcc/i386-mingw32msvc/3.4.1/../../../../i386-mingw32msvc/bin/ld: 
cannot find -lgtk-x11-2.0

The making of the .o files seems okay only not the linking. This probably has to do with 
x11 which has nothing to do with windows. In the source of gtk+-2.4.10 which I have 
installed I have a directory with all windows-stuff for gdk (gtk+-2.4.10/gdk/win32). Do I 
have to compile this directory so I can make a new pkg-config for cross-compiling to 
Windows ? With other words: Do you know how to set up gtk+ so it can be used succesfully 
for cross-compiling to Windows.

Greetings, Edwarde
