Re: Sorce codes of GTK+ 1.2

[EMOTO Masahiko <emo nifs ac jp>]

I'm sorry, I thought you're the one who developed the
GTK+1.2 for cygwin (for Windows GDI).

The programmer left the job last year had obtained the binary files,
and I don't know much about how he got it.

The application I'm developping uses cygwin1.dll and 
GTK+ for Windos GDI.

Thinking of burden of installing X11 environment,
I cant force the user to install X11.

I tried GTK+2 for cygwin Windows GDI. The application was
compiled successfully, but I had a problem to distribute the
application.

Because lack of the pango, and the application cannot draw text.
As you know, the pango needs font path to fit for
the user'senvironment. So, It thought it difficult to use GTK+2.0

Anyway, sorry for bothering you.
I'll ask the other person.

Bye.
