Re[4]: Compiling for Windows [Was: argv revisited]

OK. I understand your mileage is very different from mine. Remember, I'm 
just a GTK user (this is GTK *app devel* list, not GTK devel list).

Just a few remarks before I answer your other mail:

It's not clear to me whether one has to distribute GTK if it's linked 
statically, because one doesn't distribute the libs themselves. But I'm no 
lawyer and didn't investigate the question (I don't distribute publicly my 
small app).

I use GTK2, it's stable :-)

You didn't understand me: I was continuing on your irony, of course having 
them install Linux would be even more uneasy and unfun!
