Build the gtk-update-icon-cache, gtk-builder-tool and gtk-query-settings
tools and run gtk-update-icon-cache as part of the post-build
"installation" process.
Pointed out (and reminded) by Paolo Borelli in bug 759436 that we should
build, "install" and run gtk-update-icon-cache in the MSVC builds as well.
This updates the Visual Studio Project GUIDs so that they don't repeat with
the GTK+-2.24.x ones, as the 3.x projects can be used with the 2.24.x in a
all-in-one solution file (such as when one wants to use a complete GTK+2
and GTK+3 stack when porting Windows applications from GTK+2 to GTK+3), and
each project in a solution file is expected to have an unique GUID.
We need to rename the projects so that when these projects are added
into an all-in-one solution file that will build the GTK+ 2/3 stack,
the names of the projects will not collide with the GTK+-2.x ones,
especially as GTK+-2.x and GTK+-3.x are done to co-exist on the same
system. This is due to the case that the MSVC projects are directly
carried over from the GTK+-2.x ones and was then updated for 3.x.
We still need to update the GUIDs of the projects, so that they won't
conflict with the GTK+-2.x ones.
Rename the "install" projects as "gtk-install" as we are planning to have a
grand solution file that incorporates all project files of the GTK+ stack
with their dependencies, to make it easier for people to build GTK+ from
scratch from a stock installation of Visual Studio 2008 and later.
The files for build of GtkInspector have been intergrated into the build of
the main GTK+ DLL, and the Visual Studio project templates for those have
been removed as well. Make that removal complete by removing from the
solution files references to it and make the 'gtk' project not to depend on
the gtk-inspector project.
This utility would likely be useful for Windows builds of GTK+, given the
reasons Alex cited for coming up with this utility[1], and MSVC build
support for librsvg is not available at this time (possible, but not
implemented yet).

Add project files to build the GtkInspector sources, as gtk-inspector is a
required portion for GTK+. "Install" the
org.gtk.Settings.Debug.gschema.xml gsettings schema file as well, so that
people can trigger GtkInspector as they develop and test their GTK+-based
programs.
The current approach of building the introspection files for GTK works, but
is often cumbersome as one needs to set many environmental variables before
launching a solution file, which runs a Windows batch script to generate
the .gir/.typelib files. It was also possible to hand-run the batch script
from the Visual Studio command prompt, but even more environmental
variables need to be set.
This changes the approach to build the introspection files using an NMake
Makefile (but elimating from the Visual Studio Project Files the part to
build the introspection files) to:
-Make it clearer to the person building the introspection files what
environmental variables are needed, specifically for PKG_CONFIG_PATH and
MINGWDIR and CFG (formerly CONF). Setting stuff like VSVER, PLAT and BASEDIR
is no longer required, which was a bit clunky.
-Allows some more easier flexibility on the build of the intropsection files.
Add a utility project to get config.h and gdkconfig.h from their *.h.win32
(or win32_broadway, if applicable) counterparts, using custom build rules,
so that these "generated" files can also be removed on clean and
"regenerated" upon update. This also enables the removal of configs in
certain projects that isn't really needed as a result.
Also update and merge the projects and property sheets to include a single
property sheet that it needs, which will then in turn include the other
property sheets that is needed, so that things are cleaner.
Updates to the Visual Studio 2010 projects will follow later.
-Add Visual Studio 2008 projects and pre-configured gdkconfig.h for
Broadway builds
-Decouple the Visual Studio property sheets, to simplify maintenance and
enhance flexibility for different builds
Visual Studio 2010 projects updates will follow later.
Integrate the utility projects to build the introspection files into the
main solution files, so that one can build the introspection files from the
IDE. This is not built by default, so one can build the introspection
files if he/she chooses to do so.
This is used by the "Application Class" demo... so this should be built
as well especially as we are getting gspawn-win{32|64}-helper.exe fixed
on Visual Studio 2005 (and later) builds.
Update the Visual Studio projects for gtka11y and the completion of the
projects that go along with it. This have been distcheck'ed on my Ubuntu
12.04 system.
-Rename the "libgail" projects to gtka11y, for consistency with the
autotools builds
-Update the projects completion in gtk/a11y/Makefile.am, as the sources are
now listed under $(libgtka11y_la_SOURCES) instead of $(libgail_la_SOURCES)
-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
-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.
