Re: experimental gtk+ 3.3.2 win32 build

[Pedro Ignacio Guridi <pedro guridi gmail com>]

Hi Ryan,

That's a good point...

What about Jhbuild? oh.. only works with mingw i think.., right?

I use to do builds of unreleased/new GTK+ versions relatively often for testing, 

anyway i never compiled them with VS.., ill keep that in mind for the next builds.

And maybe then try to figure out something for start automating that process, would

be great to have something robust for building the GTK+ stack in win32.

Regards,

Pedro

In general, we are interested in improving the situation with respect to
Windows builds.

We'd like to do this in a more robust way (ie: done with every version
and posted on gtk.org).  Ideally, this would be automated.

It's worth noting that it's already relatively easy for us to do mingw
builds and indeed we have a full set of them in the Fedora archive.
What we really lack is a good method of doing regular builds using
Visual Studio (which is necessary to get the correct debugging symbols
into the libraries).

Do you have any ideas how we could possibly automate this process?

Cheers
