Re: Compiling a GTK application on windows

Hi Paul,

When I was evaluating gtk and gtkmm, I studied the source code of
ardour and inkscape. The ardour code has few comments, documents. I
can't understand it. I also read an article on why you switched to
boost::signal2 for multithreading. Those helped me choose gtk and
gtkmm, and decide to call GTK only in the main thread. Thanks.
