gconf win32?

[Andreas Loening <loening stanford edu>]

Hi All,

Can anyone let me know if gconf is suppose to work on windows?

It looks like Tor Lillqvist put in some code back in 2005 to get it to run 
on win32, and there are win32 binaries available for gconf on the gnome 
ftp site. My application compiles and runs with the provided library. But 
changes that gconf is suppose to record aren't being recorded.

After scratching my head for a while, I noticed that a bunch of 
applications (e.g. Ekiga, gnumeric) while using gconf on linux, provide 
their own code for windows. Is gconf on windows something to be generally 
avoided?

Thanks,
Andy
