> Dear Mr. Chaplin,
>
>  Past few days, I have been engaged in creating GLADE's and GTK's port to
> win32. I have created an easy-to-install GTK & GLADE port for that
purpose.
> The result.... winGTK & wGLADE!!!
>
>  I noticed that 'Dragon Master' has also created a GLADE port. I installed
> it, but I didn't find it useful to me since it gave errors while 'Building
> the Source' (I do not have cygwin installed). Also no GTK libraries were
> distributed with it to make it a
> working solution. Moreover, the about box contained the wrong address (the
> pn.org one!) and wrong email ID (damon pn org). I have fixed that in my
> port. That is why I am distributing two files: winGTK.exe (2.33 MB) &
wGLADE
> (1.3 MB).
>
>  winGTK contains the gtk-1.3 dev libraries for win32 (available from
> gimp.org's win32 site), make tools, gcc & g++ compilers, a sample hello
> world project and a makefile which can be used in your GTK projects.
wGLADE
> is just the GLADE program which will create the project.
>
>  I have put up all necessary details on my project site:
> http://wingtk.sourceforge.net and these 2 packages (winGTK & wGLADE) can
be
> downloaded from there. I've also written a tutorial which will help users
to
> create their gtk projects in 6 or 7 steps. That can also be downloaded
from
> my site.
>
>  What I want is that you (or anyone from the glade-users list) kindly test
> the above programs for any defects and inform me whether they run smoothly
> or not. *If it works smoothly, THEN ONLY please add a link* to
> http://wingtk.sourceforge.net/ on the glade homepage.
>
>  I am looking forward to hearing from you (and members of glade-users
list),
>
> Yours sincerely,
> Ishan
>
> p.s.: winGTK & wGLADE might take GLADE & GTK to a wider range of people
who
> are not stuck with Linux only. Many people hear about GTK & GLADE, but
> cannot use it due to lack of adequette knowledge of Linux. My packages, if
> they run smoothly, might enable these users to do the same in windows
> environment. The gtk libraries are not generated by me, but taken from
> gimp.org site.
