Hi List!

Having a hard time compiling dia on win32 :-(

Following the readme.win32 description how to compile, I recognized that the first target in the app/makefile.msc (which is used if no target is specified) should be "all:" but currently is "dia-app-icons.h:"

Huh? Does not casue any problems for me with. Where did you get that informaton?

Well, IMHO it's "common sense" that the first target in a Makefile is used, if no other target is specified. (Ok, my first sentence wasn't clear enough on that).

As you stated out yourself in readme.win32, one should run nmake -f makefile.msc, which will use the first target.


I've attached a patch to fix this (lowered the dia-app-icons.h: target in the makefile).


Still trying to get my generation running ...

BTW: is there any detailed description, which dependant libraries are used and where they have to be installed in the build tree for a successful generation?

It maybe a litle bit outdated (pangoft2?) but

    http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/glib/README.win32

should be a good starting point. Also google would help :

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=dia+windows&btnG=Search

It wasn't about GTK/Glib dependencies in general. I'm used to work with that libraries from Ethereal development with win32 and I know how to get them going. It was about the other various dependency libraries.

However, the following:

e.g. it leads to Steffen full blown Dia on windoze compilation
guide, just two clicks away ;)

http://dia-installer.sourceforge.net/dia_win32_compilation.html

Yeah! He points me to that page, which is *really* helpful.

Maybe it's a *very good idea* to point to these information to other developers right in readme.win32!
