Image Loading Problem on Windows Box

[Gavin Keighren <s9901726 sms ed ac uk>]

Hi,

I am in the process of porting a very simple program from OS X (X11) to 
Windows (please don't ask why, it's not my choice). The program 
compiles without any errors on both systems (and also works for the 
main part). However, the program is meant to display an image, but the 
Windows version will not load the file. My (limited) understanding is 
that the image loader is not being linked properly, but without any 
error messages from the linker, I am not sure how to fix it.

I have tried linking with a range of libraries, and the path to the 
required loader is part of the appropriate environment variable. I have 
also tried various forms of the filename string, to no avail.

The code which should load the file is:

GtkPixbuf * logoBuffer = gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file("images/logo.jpg", 
NULL);

although the following also does not work (a broken image graphic is 
displayed):

GtkWidget * logo = gtk_image_new_from_file("images/logo.jpg");


The only other reason I can think of, is that I am using the wrong 
compiler. I am currently using Microsoft's cl compiler version 
14.00.50727.42. I had tried Borland's C compiler, but that threw up a 
whole host of problems with linking to DLLs.


Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Gavin
