Re: how to use GTK+ on Mingw&msys? what i need to begin with GTK+?

["L. Misoullee" <ivsp msn com>]

thank you.
about GNU automake, autoconfig i will read that knowledge as your help.
the purpose to compile and install the GTK+ from sources ?
yeh, shortly i just want to write GTK+ applications which can run  on the 
Unix-like or Mac OS platforms on my desktop-windowsXP, like the Gaim.

so i have installed the Mingw&msys as emulating for Unix-like system on my 
desktop-windowsxp.

if i just will run GTK+ applications only on Windows, i may be enough to 
install GTK+ package for Win32 on windows XP. of course i will need a gcc 
compiler. CORRECT?

thank you again, i will try to check the more knowledge about 
these-related.
