FW: compiling gtk-engines under mingw

["Karl Reis" <kreight1-msu yahoo com>]

I'm sorry if this is posted multiple times, but the first time didn't seem
to go through.

 

------------------

Has anyone been able to successfully compile and create libmist.dll,
libclearlooks.dll under windows?

 

Libtool generates warnings saying that the shared libraries for gtk, pango,
etc.. are not found.  Indeed, there are only static libraries.

 

So, upon compiling gtk-engines successfully (which I'm able to do), I only
end up with libmist.la, etc. and not the corresponding dlls.

 

As a result of this, whenever I download a new theme with a gtkrc file that
references engine "mist" for example, I get a GTK warning to the effect that
the module was not found.  I assume it means libmist.dll is not found.

 

So, I'm sort of stuck.

 

Anyone has any insight?

 

Another approach might be if anyone knows of precompiled versions of these
files for windows?  I couldn't find them at the ftp site.

 

Thanks,

 

Karl
