wascana + mingw + GTK

[pwillis]

Hello,

Does the wascana mingw build contain GTK ?

If not, do I just unzip the 'DEV' packages from gtk.org
into the mingw hierarchy?

Thanks,

Peter

No it doesn't. I had thoughts of it, but it's quite the behemoth.

Well, you would need the Windows version of GTK and it is probably
quite difficult to set up for development. I've never done it so I
can't really offer any advice beyond that.

Actually GTK doesn't look too bad as far as dependencies and required
packages go.
All the packages necessary are already available for windows, as is
the GTK runtime.

I am just confused as to where eclipse/mingw will require the libs and
headers to be located....

The windows information regarding mingw and GTK is located at:

http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html

I will touch base with the GTK people to get a clarification regarding
the
installation location of the packages.

OK. You will likely need to manually configure your projects to find
the GTK packages no matter where you put them. GTK projects generally
use pkg-config in Makefiles to generate the compiler and linker
options. pkg-config may have requirements on where you install the
headers and libraries.

There's not built-in support for GTK/pkg-config in CDT even on Linux,
so you're a bit on your own here.
