Re: Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf on win32

["T.J. Ferraro" <tjtoocool phreaker net>]

Sorry for the delay. It looks like I will have to file a report as after 
building a simple C program I'm getting a segfault calling 
gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file. I will get around to that some time this 
weekend along with testing the other more complex methods.

In the mean time, however, I also built another small C program. This 
one using gtk_image_new_from_file. Suffice it to say this works fine in 
C, but Gtk2::Image->new_from_file simply does not. It just shows the 
little page icon with a red X. Of course, the same script in linux runs 
fine. I can provide either the C code or the (very) simple perl script 
on request. I tried looking through the xs code...but it looks like 
there is very little translation for this function.

At this point I'm willing to settle for any way to display an image in 
gtk2 on windows, so, any suggestions are welcome :)

Thanks,
T.J.
