Re: GtkSourceView build for Windows?

The -mms-bitfields flag is mentioned both in the glib-2.0.pc and
gtk+-2.0.pc files in the Win32 packages for them, so as the
gtksourceview packages are presumably built with mingw and the
"normal" autofoo etc, it should have come from there.

I just tried to build using MSVS8 (MSVS 2005) the test-widget program
from gtksourceview-2.2.1 against both the 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 packages
from ftp.gnome.org. It works fine, no problems...

Contrary to what I believed, apparently import libraries produced by
the mingw toolchain (.dll.a files) are *not* usable directly as import
libraries for MSVS just by copying them under a .lib name instead. At
least not with MSVS8. So I had to create an import library for
libgtksourceview-2.0-0.dll using pexports and lib instead, which is
trivial.

FYI, the command line I ended up using was:

where the c:/devel/dist/win32/* folders are where I keep unzipped the
corresponding packages from ftp.gnome.org. I obviously didn't
laboriously type this by hand, but used pkg-config --msvc-syntax. I
edited out some libraries not actually needed.
