The Win32 backend in GTK+ is not as stable or correct as the X11 one.

Building GTK+ on Win32
|
|
|
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
|

2007-03-09 10:00:22 +00:00
|
|
|
First you obviously need developer packages for the compile-time
|
|
|
|
|
dependencies: Pango, atk, glib, gettext-runtime, libiconv, libpng,
|
|
|
|
|
zlib, libtiff at least. See
|
|
|
|
|
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies .

|
2007-03-09 10:00:22 +00:00
|
|
|
After installing the dependencies, there are two ways to build GTK+
|
|
|
|
|
for win32.

2007-03-09 10:00:22 +00:00
|
|
|
1) GNU tools, ./configure && make install
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------

|
|
|
|
2007-03-09 10:00:22 +00:00
|
|
|
This requires you have mingw and MSYS.

|
2007-03-09 10:00:22 +00:00
|
|
|
Use the configure script, and the resulting Makefiles (which use
|
|
|
|
|
libtool and gcc to do the compilation). I use this myself, but it can
|
|
|
|
|
be hard to setup correctly.

|
|
|
The full script I run to build GTK+ 2.10 unpacked from a source
|
|
|
|
|
distribution is as below. This is from bulding GTK+ 2.10.9, slightly
|
|
|
|
|
edited to make it match this 2.11 development branch. Actually I don't
|
|
|
|
|
use any script like this to build the development branch, as I don't
|
|
|
|
|
distribute any binaries from development branches.

You should not just copy the above blindly. There are some things in
|
|
|
|
|
the script that are very specific to *my* build setup on *my* current
|
|
|
|
|
machine. For instance the "latest.sh" script, the "usedev" and
|
|
|
|
|
"usemsvs6" shell functions, the /devel/dist folder. The above script
|
|
|
|
|
is really just meant for reference, to give an idea. You really need
|
|
|
|
|
to understand what things like PKG_CONFIG_PATH are and set them up
|
|
|
|
|
properly after installing the dependencies before building GTK+.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As you see above, after running configure, one can just say "make
|
|
|
|
|
install", like on Unix. A post-build fix is needed, running
|
|
|
|
|
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders once more to get a correct gdk-pixbuf.loaders
|
|
|
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) Microsoft's tools
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use the Microsoft compiler, cl and Make, nmake. Say nmake -f
|
2004-03-08 00:41:46 +00:00
|
|
|
makefile.msc in gdk and gtk. Be prepared to manually edit various
|
|
|
|
|
makefile.msc files, and the makefile snippets in build/win32.

Multi-threaded use of GTK+ on Win32

Multi-threaded GTK+ programs might work on Windows in special simple
|
|
|
|
|
cases, but not in general. Sorry. If you have all GTK+ and GDK calls
|
|
|
|
|
in the same thread, it might work. Otherwise, probably not at
|
|
|
|
|
all. Possible ways to fix this are being investigated.

The tablet support uses the Wintab API. The Wintab development kit is
|
|
|
|
|
no longer required. The wintab.h header file is bundled with GTK+
|
|
|
|
|
sources. Unfortunately it seems that only Wacom tablets come with
|
|
|
|
|
support for the Wintab API nowadays.
