Re: [Vala] Cross compiling vala gtk to win32

[pancake <pancake youterm com>]

I have crosscompiled big vala+gtk (gtkaml) apps with mingw from linux to windows.

The setup is simple, but requires some tricks. 

I used to install the last gtk blobs for windows and then by setting pkgconfig, cflags and ldflags yo point 
to the directory containing the liba and include files the projects compiles just fine.

I have a zip somewhere with all this environment prepared (w32 blobs and a test program in valagtl that 
crosscompiles with 'make') .. I will have to find it because im replying thia from my phone. 

But if someone finds it interesting i can provide instructions and the zip for this.

I have also recently packaged a vala+gtkon app for osx with gtk and quartz (no x11). And stored in a 
standalone .app in a .dmg image.. 

If someone finds this interesting i can write some instructions to do it.

I still have to play with the themes (to be emedded in the .app) and i would love to switch to gtk3. If 
someone have any experience with it let me know :)
