Which compiler are you using? I installed gtk+ on a WinNT 4.0 computer,
with
Cygwin-B20.1. Of course it is possible to use other compilers, but I have
not
tried this. This is what I did:

1. Downloaded from http://user.sgic.fi/~tml/gimp/win32/ the files
   glib-1.2-dev-19990228.zip
   gtk-dev-19990305.zip
   (I can see this files have been updated, you should get the files
    glib-dev-19990726.zip and gtk+-dev-19990726.zip)

2. Unzip the files. (easy)

3. Copy all the *.dll files to c:\WinNT\system\

4. Hey! The new zipfiles contain lib*.a files!! You do not have to create
   them from the DLL's!! Thanks Tor!

5. Copy all the lib*.a files to a directory your linker will find them.
   I have copied this files to c:\cygnus\cygwin-b20\H-i586-cygwin32\lib\.
   If you are using an other compiler then Cygwin, find another suitable
   directory.

6. Copy all the *.h files to a directory your compiler will find them.
   I have copied this headerfiles to tree subdirectories under
   c:\cygnus\cygwin-b20\include\ called gtk, gdk and glib.

7. Do a small test, like 'Hello World'
   gcc hello.c -o hello -lgdi32 -lkernel32 -lglib -lgdk -lgtk -lm

8. Try to run this. I can see that gtk.dll has gnu-intl.dll in it's
   Import table. This DLL can be found in the file
extralibs-src-19990726.zip
   from the same site. (This is new since last time I tried this. Now I
   understand your other posting to this list!) Extract the file
gnu-intl.dll
   and put it in c:/WinNT/system/. Does your test program work now?

9. (gcc only) This is just a dirty trick. Find the gtk-config script, and
   modify this so `gtk-config --libs` gives a output like this:

   -lgdi32 -lkernel32 -lglib -lgdk -lgtk -lm

   and so `gtk-config --cflags` gives a output of the include directories.
   (my gtk-config script i provided below). Put this modified script in
your
   path. I got a directory /usr/local/bin/ for such scripts.

Some comments.
- If you are using MSVC, I guess you can link against the *.lib files
instead.
- Sometimes I see that the order of the link arguments does matter. I do
not
  know why.
- I do not know why Tor Lillqvist have compiled gtk.dll depending on
  gnu-intl.dll. The only two function in the import table is
bindtestdomain__
  and dgettext__. It didn't use to be like this.
- Even with a modified gtk-config script, you must be prepered to modify a
  lot of Makefiles!!

This is just what _I_ did, to install gtk+ om _my_ computer. Some this may
be stupid. Please send me commets if something is really stupid or if
anything goes wrong.

Good luck,
Øystein Johansen
