Re: Compiling a GTK application on windows

[Gang Chen <gang chen cn gmail com>]

Hi Lothar,

Is there really any show stopper in GTK+ on Windows? I saw many GTK+
apps that support Windows and Mac OS. And I'm considering whether to
choose GTK+ to develop a cross-platform app... I'm surprised to hear
your words.

Thanks,
Gang
