RE: [gtkmm] gtkmm and mingw

["Paulo Pinto" <pjmlp progtools org>]

Usually building on windows is a pain.
Why ? Because there are tons of compilers
that people might be using.

- gcc (cygwin/mingw)
- Visual C++
- C++ Builder
- Metrowerks Code Warrior

Are the most common ones. You can only use
autoconf/automake stuff with gcc. It won't
work with the other compilers, they require
project files/makefiles exclusive to them.

I suggest doing as the SDL people do.

Provide a .zip file with the projects for
a given compiler. For example, provide VisualC.zip
with the project files for Visual C++. Our users
only have to unzip it and use it to compile the
project. The same applies to the other compilers.

Also provide a Readme file to describe possible changes
due to environment differences.

I might provide project files for Visual C++ and C++
Builder.
