Re: [gtkdatabox] how to build gtkdatabox on Windows with MinGW

Fabian,

Thank you for your reply.

It does turn out to be an issue with library paths, it seems.  When I obtained gtk+ as the "all-in-one" win32 bundle, I did not install it to the correct location.  With the help of some MinGW documentation, here's what I did:

(1) determine where "/usr/local" on my machine is:

cd /usr/local

pwd -W

(2) unzip the win32 bundle to this directory, merging directories (i.e. "bin" directory in gtk+ files go in bin at /usr/local).

After doing this, the configure script was able to find the libraries, and make and make install succeeded.
