I just got your "earlybird special" and am a little confused.  I see
that libglademm appears to be in that package.  Does that mean that
the http://www.gustin.be/win32/gtkmm-win32-2.12.7.zip which I just
downloaded today has been updated or should I take this to mean that
libglademm is there but not working?

Thanks for your work in providing this.

What is the latest news?  Am I correct in thinking this hasn't happened
yet?


I unzipped the gtkmm-win32-2.12.7.zip that I downloaded and placed it
with my other GTK (which came from the installer
gtk-dev-2.12.9-win32-2.exe).  I was able to compile and run a very
simple gtkmm test app.

#include <gtkmm.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
Gtk::Main kit(argc, argv);
Gtk::Window window;
Gtk::Main::run(window);
return 0;
}

I didn't find any test apps in the gtkmm-win32-2.12.7.zip package but
I did find some examples in the libglademm-2.6.6 tarball.  I was able to
compile the basic.cc one using
g++ -o basic.exe basic.cc `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtkmm-2.4 
libglademm-2.4`

but when I run it, I get an error dialog that says
"The procedure entry point glade_xml_construct_from_buffer could not be 
located in the dynamic link library libglade-2.0-0.dll"

Am I doing something wrong or is this package not ready yet?
