Visual Studio 2008 configuration for GTK+2.22

[Odysseas Zografos <zografos odysseas gmail com>]

Hello everyone,

 I'm trying to run a simple gtk+ application with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 under Windows XP.

I downloaded the bundle folder of GTK+2.22, added the C:\...\gtk\bin to the Path Environment Variable,

executed pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0 and gtk-demo (run fine..). To Visual Studio, I added all the "-I" results of the pkg-config to Tools->Options->VC++ Directories->Include Files, added the "-L" results (C:\...\gtk\lib) to Tools->Options->VC++ Directories->Library Files and finally added all the "-l" results (.lib files) to Project->Project Properties->Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies.

Testing it...

In order to test my settings I did the following:

- Created a new Empty project in Visual Studio 2008.

- Added a new .cpp file (main.cpp).

- Created an "tutorial.glade" file by copying/pasting the XML code shown here

- Changed the "id = window1" to "id = window" in line 5 of .glade file because it caused an error.

- Compiled it just fine...

  BUILD OUTPUT

------ Rebuild All started: Project: gladetest, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

Deleting intermediate and output files for project 'gladetest', configuration 'Debug|Win32'

Compiling...

main.cpp

Linking...

LINK : C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\gladetest\Debug\gladetest.exe not found or not built by the last incremental link; performing full link

Embedding manifest...

Build log was saved at "file://c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\gladetest\gladetest\Debug\BuildLog.htm"

gladetest - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)

========== Rebuild All: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========

- Run it:

        Window pops up: Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_show: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET <widget>' failed

Error showed in the screen-shot attached.

All the steps above have confirmed in some way from a lot of hours googling! I've tried for 4 days now to configure it properly but no luck...

I really need this to work, so If anybody has a similar experience on this problem or any solutions to suggests I would deeply appreciate it!
