RE: Compiling Glib 1.223 on win xp

[RAPPAZ Francois <francois rappaz unifr ch>]

Thanks for the comments.

I wanted to compile perl bindind for Glib and friends to have a recent Gtk2-perl, but I give up... 

I tried camelbox but without installing the core perl which was needed with it, and that was not working 
either with my perl 5.8.9 from ActiveState.

I'm reluctant to have two perl versions installed, it's not very elegant at least, and even in twisting the 
path when using the gtk2 in a script, I prefer to keep the binaries I have found for ActiveState.

The questions will come again when I upgrade and possibly move to another perl distribution.
