Re: [gtkmm] gtkmm2 win32 compile errors

[Cedric Gustin <cgustin ibelgique com>]

Hi,

I had no problems compiling libsigc++-1.1.13 and gtkmm-1.3.20 using mingw. 
I use the cygwin distribution for the bash shell and the autotools though ! 
I have never tried with msys. I guess your problem is related to a wrong 
detection of the win32 platform by the configure script. Pangomm depends on 
glibmmm. While this is not a problem with unix-style shared library, glibmm 
should be explicitly included at link time when creating a DLL. Library 
dependencies are included in the Makefile.am's, as long as a "supported" 
win32 platform was detected by configure script.

Could you please send me :

1. The output of the configure script (standard output).
2. The config.log file.

Also, I just realized that the gtk/gtkmm/wrap_init.cc file provided by the 
source distribution contains references to sockets and plugs which is not 
compatible with gtk+ on win32. This means that compiling on win32 from the 
source distribution requires to enable maintainer mode and to delete this 
wrap_init.cc file (it will be recreated by a perl script).
