Re: gtkglextmm on Windows

[Bruce Sherwood <Bruce_Sherwood ncsu edu>]

I've posted Windows binaries for gtkglextmm at

	http://vpython.org/developers.htm

There's something VERY strange. In late October I successfully built 
gtkglextmm from source on my desktop Windows machine. A few days ago I 
failed to build on my Windows laptop as described in my earlier note. 
Now I find I can no longer build on my desktop machine. The only thing I 
can think of is the change away from daylight savings time. Windows 
displays file dates that change in odd ways across a time change, and 
I'm making a wild guess that this does something to the make procedure.

For the moment I've solved my problem (and maybe someone else's) by 
using the binary files I successfully generated last month.
