Re: [gtkmm] gtkmm-2.4 on MSVC

["Rene Jensen" <rj vivens dk>]

A few weeks ago I set out to reach a similar goal, but to my shame the 
attempt petered. The reason was that fixing the linking problems required a 
dllimport/dllexport to be added in front of all class declarations (in the 
.hg and .ccg files to keep those changes), plus some other places, namely 
statically declared functions in .ccg files and all global objects, which 
should keep their 'extern' specifier in their declaration. Well, I tried to 
disentangle the m4 macro files but didn't have enough time to pursue.

So Tim, I would gladly join up, but unless someone explains exactly what 
should be added to which m4 files, I'm afraid we are beyond a simple 
configuration issue. We could make a lot of changes to the post-m4 .h and 
.cc files but those changes would be lost at next version. (I tried to do 
that by the way, and I think I got it to link cleanly. However there were 
still some issues probably revolving around some msvc-template stuff I 
didn't have the energy to investigate upon).

P.S.: Those files you made, they are not tar.gz files, just tar.
