Re: GTK development setup on windows?

[Armin Burgmeier <armin arbur net>]

Hi,

You can use the GTK+ bundle from
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/gtk+/2.20/ which contains
all required files to build GTK+ applications in C. If you add it's bin/
directory to the PATH environment variable you can build applications
the same way as on Unix using MSYS and pkg-config. To use an IDE I guess
you will have to execute the pkg-config command by hand and copy the
flags to the compiler and linker settings of your IDE of choice.

Alternatively the gtkmm Windows installer contains all that is needed to
develop applications using GTK+ in C or C++. See
http://live.gnome.org/gtkmm/MSWindows for more information.
