RE: Gtk+ 3.0 and MS Windows

["Mikhail Titov" <mlt gmx us>]

Fan:

I downloaded Gtk+ 3.0.5, as well as these prerequisites 
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gtk+/2.22/gtk+-bundle_2.22.1-20101227_win32.zip
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/glib/2.28/glib_2.28.1-1_win32.zip
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/glib/2.28/glib-dev_2.28.1-1_win32.zip

I unpacked tarball and did not run ./configure or anything from msys. I opened solution in MS VC++ 2008 Express and I had to change few things in gtk+.vsprops namely:
GlibEtcInstallRoot
ForcedIncludeFiles="msvc_recommended_pragmas.h"
$(GlibEtcInstallRoot)\include\GdkPixbuf-2.0  -> $(GlibEtcInstallRoot)\include\Gdk-Pixbuf-2.0

And again gdk-win32 project compiles nice. However gdk build now gives this:

Linking...
   Creating library C:\workspace\gtk+-3.0.5\build\win32\vs9\Debug\Win32\bin\gdk-win32-3.0.lib and object C:\workspace\gtk+-3.0.5\build\win32\vs9\Debug\Win32\bin\gdk-win32-3.0.exp
gdkwindow.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__cairo_gobject_surface_get_type referenced in function _gdk_window_class_init
C:\workspace\gtk+-3.0.5\build\win32\vs9\Debug\Win32\bin\gdk-win32-3-vs9.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Build log was saved at "file://C:\workspace\gtk+-3.0.5\build\win32\vs9\Debug\Win32\obj\BuildLog.htm"


I had to create libcairo-gobject.lib with the following

-------------8<----------------------------
EXPORTS
cairo_gobject_context_get_type
cairo_gobject_pattern_get_type
cairo_gobject_surface_get_type
LIBRARY libcairo-gobject-2.dll
-------------8<----------------------------

and add it to gtk+.vsprop in linking section.

Bottom line: I managed to build gtk+ 3.0! However once I saw main window of gtk-demo.exe appearing, the program crashed:(  Dependencies bundle has not only outdated  glib, but also cairo-related dev files (at least missing dot def and dot lib).

I'll debug it later.

P.S. Norton Security Suite is not fun! Its Sonar system silently kept deleting gtk-demo.exe after I tried to launch it. It was quite weird to see it disappearing:-) I had to disable it.

Fan:

I tried gtk+ 3.0.4. All most recent dependencies I got in a binary form somewhere from gnome ftp. You may be right as I did only `make distclean` and reran ./configure when I stuck with previous problems with generating enums headers. Though I did remove timestamp files manually. I'm not sure if `make distclean` was enough. I'll try a clean MinGW as well as I feel like I have a bit outdated environment anyway.

I want to give a try to OpenSUSE binaries before continuing attempts to build on my own:-)

Hi Mikhail,

Can I know which version of GTK+ are you using?  You may want to try building from a clean source tree that is not touched by MinGW/MSYS (i.e. 
extract from the release tarball, and build from it directly with VS).

I was able to build up to 3.0.4 without problems, and it seems 3.0.5 did not change that much to cause any problems of that sort (I didn't have time to build 3.0.5 yet)

God Bless,
-Fan, Chun-wei
