-Enhance optimization by turning on WholeProgramOptimization for all
Release builds
-Disable IncrementalLinking for all Release builds
-Make sure we are using MultiByte character set, to be consistent across
the board for all configurations
Remove the "-win32-" from the output file names for the GDK and GTK+ DLLs,
like what is now done for quite a while on other platforms
(and MinGW builds), for consistency reasons. This is due to GDK/GTK+
are buildable with multiple backends.
Note: For references, the Windows build only builds the Win32 backend
for the time being.
The file "installation" part needed a long-overdue update, especially
as some headers were simply moved into gtk/deprecated and some new headers
were introduced, and a new .gschema.xml file needed to be processed.
Bid farewell to G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED and the build errors it causes as
warnings are now used to deter people from using deprecated GLib items
in a more subtle manner
-Tell people about the GNOME Live! page which gives a more detailed
outline on building the GTK+ stack with Visual C++
-Update README.win32 as GAIL is now a standard part built into GTK+
for its a11y functions, and GAIL-Util is now built with the project
files too.
-Tell people about the VS2010 support that has been available for a
while
Copy the Win32-specific GDK backend headers during the "install" stage
as well, as they were missed in the install, causing trouble when
building other projects like WebKitGTK+.
Thanks to greg.hellings for pointing this out in Bug 653964.
-Change ATK dependency back to atk-1.0.lib, and the corresponding include
folder back to atk-1.0 for all projects as ATK-2.x will still retain the
1.0 suffixes. (ATK Commit 01cec72)
-Update corresponding description in the VS README.txt files
-Also fix up the VS2010 README.txt file a bit.
-Added projects to compile the a11y portion of GTK+. This is now necessary
as a11y/GAIL is now integrated into the main GTK+ library, and it must
be built before compiling/linking GTK+. This project is done like the
GDK/GTK+ projects, where the source file listings for the VS2008/2010
projects are fed into templates (.vcprojin, .vcxprojin and
.vcxproj.filtersin) during 'make dist'
-Added projects to compile the libgail-util DLL (no templates for this
as this does not have source files added/removed often)
-Added the new projects into distribution, and headers, DLLs and .LIB files
into the "install" stage
This time I realized that I needed to set autocrlf=false on my Windows side
... ugh...
This is one of those files that must have CRLF line endings to work
correctly :|
-Reinstate build/win32/vs10/gtk+.sln with the correct EOL (DOS/Windows), so
that it will be correctly recognized by Windows instead of having the
annoying "Unrecognized Visual Studio Version".
-Update property sheets to reflect on new headers added
-Change the demo program to be gtk3-demo.exe, to be consistent with the
names on other platforms, and updated/renamed related project/solution
files, and added overlay.c to the list of demo sources.
As Cairo and Cairo-GObject are often built as two seperate DLLs/modules,
set the property sheets to link to both libraries, instead of using the
previous approach where a monolithic Cairo DLL which contains GObject
support is used.
-Remove unneeded tags from projects
-Seperate intermediate directories for projects to avoid rebuilding/
linking on every rebuild and MSBuild errors (et al.) for not being
able to write into build log files as they are in use.
-Update to distribute the VS2010 files.
-Added rules in Makefile.am's of GDK and GTK to fill in the
project/filter files templates with up-to-date source file
listings to simplify maintenace.
Any comments on the usage of the VS2010 files are welcome!
These are the VS2010 Project files to compile GDK and GTK+, using
the Win32 backend, along with a brief README.txt explaining the
process.
The GDK and GTK project/filter files are templates that are filled
in during "make dist" with up-to-date source file listings as far
as possible, to simplify maintenance.
Comments on their usage are most welcome.
Make the VS 2008 build instructions and information
more up-to-date and clearer to people.
Please let me know if I have missed any needed details...
Thanks
Apparently I previously had one of the source files wrong here...
Update this to reflect the correct file.
My fault for not seeing this earlier-sorry. DOH.
-Updated README.txt file in build/win32/vs9.
-Fix the gdk.vcprojin and gtk+.vsprops regarding include paths
and copying of headers (missed header etc.)
-Update the project files to simplify them a bit after the seperation of
GDK-Pixbuf (move GDK-Pixbuf includes into the property sheet, move the
linking of Cairo/Pango/PangoCairo into the property sheet)--this is for
all DLL/EXE Projects (GDK/GTK/gtk-demo)
-Update the GDK-Win32 project as the source files have changed
significantly (especially as GDK3 was not compilable on Windows for a
while--thanks to Hans Breuer for the help in the process-Bug 639127)
-Made up for missed headers in the "install" stage and removed the removed
headers in the property sheet
-Updated GTK+ .def file generation as an extra macro is needed for that
-Updated gdk/Makefile.am for the generation of gdk.vcproj from gdk.vcprojin
-Update the project files to simplify them a bit after the seperation of
GDK-Pixbuf (move GDK-Pixbuf includes into the property sheet, move the

-Updated GTK+ .def file generation as an extra macro is needed for that
-Updated gdk/Makefile.am for the generation of gdk.vcproj from gdk.vcprojin
-removed headers that ceased to exist
-bump API version
-made up for new headers that is to be installed
-gtk-demo program and related sources/data copied to bin/gtk3-demo
-Made up for the additional dependencies for setups other than Debug|Win32 (the correct setting)
-Made Subsystem="1" for all setups like Debug|Win32 (the correct setting)
-Removed the GdkPixbuf stuff as it is now in a package of its own and added
it as a dependent library here
-Made up for the headers missed in the installation stage for GTK+/GDK
