Re: Problems when (cross)compiling a gtk app on linux for windows

["Dov Grobgeld" <dov grobgeld gmail com>]

I just tested your compilation line and except from the fact that I needed
to add:

-I$MINGW/lib/gtk-2.0/include

to the include flags, I had no problem compiling with it. So either the
download at gtk is broken or you made some mistake when downloading it.

Btw, you might be interested in checking out the cross compilation
environment that I have set up in the SConstruct file of the project giv at
http://giv.sf.net/giv . I do all my development including the construction
of a install package from from Linux.
