2007-01-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com> Build Wintab support always on Windows. Don't require the Wintab SDK. * configure.in: Drop the --with-wintab option. Drop the HAVE_WINTAB feature test macro and Automake variable. * acconfig.h * config.h.win32.in: Drop HAVE_WINTAB. * gdk/win32/gdkevents-win32.c * gdk/win32/gdkinput.c * gdk/win32/gdkinput-win32.h * gdk/win32/gdkinput-win32.c * gdk/win32/gdkmain-win32.c: Make HAVE_WINTAB ifdef blocks unconditional. * gdk/win32/gdkinput-win32.c (_gdk_input_wintab_init_check): Try to load wintab32.dll dynamically here. If it is found look up the handful Wintab functions we use. (rest of file): Use these function pointers instead of calling the functions from wntab32x.lib. The code in wntab32x.lib did the same thing anyway: tried to load wintab32.dll, and looked up the addresses of the actual functions from it. * gdk/Makefile.am * gdk/win32/Makefile.am: Drop the libwntab32x hacks. * gdk/win32/wintab.h * gdk/win32/pktdef.h: New files. Copied from the Wintab SDK. Copyright blurb says: "The text and information contained in this file may be freely used, copied, or distributed without compensation or licensing restrictions." * README.win32: Update a bit. Remove the text about the Wintab SDK. svn path=/trunk/; revision=17186

The Win32 backend in GTK+ is not as stable or correct as the X11
|
|
one.
|
|
|
|
For prebuilt runtime and developer packages see
|
|
http://www.gimp.org/win32/downloads.html .
|
|
|
|
There is also a gtk-1-3-win32-production branch of GTK+ that was
|
|
branched off from before the addition of the no-flicker and other
|
|
functionality that was new in GTK+ 2.0.0. The vesion number used for
|
|
that branch is 1.3.0. It corresponds most closely to GTK 1.2.7 on
|
|
Unix. For new code, you shouldn't be using that.
|
|
|
|
Building GTK+ on Win32
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to build GTK+ for win32.
|
|
|
|
1) Use the autoconf-generated 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.
|
|
|
|
Note that I first always edit the ltmain.sh file like this:
|
|
sed -e 's/need_relink=yes/need_relink=no # no way --tml/' <ltmain.sh >ltmain.temp && mv ltmain.temp ltmain.sh
|
|
|
|
Personally I run configure with something like:
|
|
CC='gcc -mtune=pentium3 -mthreads' CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/gnuwin32/include -I/opt/gnu/include -I/opt/misc/include' CFLAGS=-g LIBS=-lintl LDFLAGS='-L/opt/gnuwin32/lib -L/opt/gnu/lib -L/opt/misc/lib' ./configure --prefix=c:/devel/target/HEAD --with-gdktarget=win32 --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-debug=yes --enable-explicit-deps=no --with-included-loaders=png,bmp,gif,ico,jpeg,tiff,xpm
|
|
|
|
Then you should just be able to run "make", like on Unix.
|
|
|
|
An issue is with the gdk-pixbuf.loaders file. It's probably best to do
|
|
a "make install" in the gdk-pixbuf directory, and let that set up a
|
|
mostly correct gdk-pixbuf.loaders in the target directory. Then copy
|
|
that back to the source directory. It's needed in gtk/stock-icons
|
|
where make runs gdk-pixbuf-csource.
|
|
|
|
Etc, you get the idea.
|
|
|
|
2) Use the Microsoft compiler, cl and Make, nmake. Say nmake -f
|
|
makefile.msc in gdk and gtk. Be prepared to manually edit various
|
|
makefile.msc files, and the makefile snippets in build/win32.
|
|
|
|
Alternative 1 also generates Microsoft import libraries (.lib), if you
|
|
have lib.exe available. It might also work for cross-compilation from
|
|
Unix.
|
|
|
|
Note that I use method 1 myself. Hans Breuer has been taking care of
|
|
the MSVC makefiles. At times, we disagree a bit about various issues,
|
|
and for instance the makefile.msc files will not produce identically
|
|
named DLLs and import libraries as the "autoconfiscated" makefiles and
|
|
libtool do. If this bothers you, you will have to fix the makefiles.
|
|
|
|
Using GTK+ on Win32
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
To use GTK+ on Win32, you also need either one of the above mentioned
|
|
compilers. Other compilers might work, but don't count on it. Look for
|
|
prebuilt developer packages (DLLs, import libraries, headers) on the
|
|
above website.
|
|
|
|
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.

Wintab
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
The tablet support uses the Wintab API. Unfortunately it seems that
|
|
only Wacom tablet software comes with the required wintab32.dll
|
|
nowadays.
