Link to winmm.lib as well, as we are now using timeEndPeriod() and
timeBeginPeriod() since commit 5dbf814f (win32: Request higher
precision timers during animations).
This adds a PlatformToolset tag in the project configs so that we can
provide support for Visual Studio 2012 with relative ease as the format
of the VS 2012 projects are only slightly different from their VS 2010
counterparts.
We can then use a script like the one used in GLib[1] to copy the VS2010
projects and replace the necessary tags to create the VS2012 projects.
This also cleans up the projects and property sheets, as there were some
unwanted/unneeded entries in them.

-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)
-Turn on Whole Program Optimization for all Release builds.
-Disable Incremental Linking for all Release builds.
-Use MultiByte character set for all configurations for consistency.
-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

-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
