RE: Gtk+ 3.0 and MS Windows

[Fan Chun-wei <fanc999 yahoo com tw>]

Hi Mikhail,

You may want to try the VS2008 Project files in the $(srcroot)/build
/win32/vs9 folder, and VS2010 project files for gtk+-3.0.x are now under 
review for inclusion (the same holds for GLib 2.28.x and GTK+-2.24.x).

AFAIK, due to different release cycles, VS Project files are not yet in 
GDK-Pixbuf, ATK and Pango stable releases, but they are available in the 
latest unstable versions of GDK-Pixbuf and ATK, and is already upstream 
for Pango.  For GDK-Pixbuf 2.23.2, you may want to get a patch from 
BugZilla so that it will compile (sorry, search for my e-mail in BugZilla 
for a bug regarding GDK-Pixbuf-I can't recall the bug number as BugZilla 
is currently down), as under VS, all image loaders are built into the main 
library DLL.  The VS9 Project files are all in $(srcroot)/build/win32/vs9 
for those respective packages-be sure to see the README.txt's in that 
folder for each package, especially regarding gettext-runtime, which can 
be hard to build yourself under VS.

God Bless,
-Fan, Chun-wei
