Re: Installing GTK+ on MSW - help!!

[Dov Grobgeld <dov imagic weizmann ac il>]

If you don't explicitely want to, you don't need to compile gtk in
order to compile against it under Windows. You can just grab the 
precompiled gtk+-libraries from:

   http://www2.arnes.si/~sopjsimo/gimp/stable.html

Get "Gtk+2 for Windows" as well as the Developer files at the bottom
of the page. (Isn't there a FAQ about this somewhere?)

Possibly you also have to manually set up pkg-config to give the
correct --cflags and --libs paths afterwards. I don't remember 
exactly what I did.

(I also recommend creating an installation e.g. with the NSIS installer
to make it really easy for your client.)

Dov
