RE: Gtk+ 3.0 and MS Windows

["Mikhail Titov" <mlt gmx us>]

Maarten:

Thanks for your quick reply! Good to know that Gtk+ 3 is buildable for win32 according to your OpenSUSE link. I don't have OpenSUSE though, but I'll give cross-compiler a try under Ubuntu.

Gcc is on my path otherwise ./configure would finish much earlier.

$ gcc.exe -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=c:\mingw\bin\gcc.exe
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=c:/mingw/bin/../libexec/gcc/mingw32/4.5.0/lto-wrapper.exe
Target: mingw32
Configured with: ../gcc-4.5.0/configure --enable-languages=c,c++,ada,fortran,objc,obj-c++ --disable-sjlj-exceptions --with-dwarf2 --enable-shared --enable-libgomp --disable-win32-registry --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --disable-werror --build=mingw32 --prefix=/mingw
Thread model: win32
gcc version 4.5.0 (GCC)

It is just something wrong with command line arguments
