Define ISOLATION_AWARE_ENABLED for the build of the GTK DLL so that visual
style can be applied to the Windows print dialog for all applications using
gtkprintoperation.
Update the script for the generation of gtk-win32.rc for MSVC to not try to
embed the manifest from it (but embed libgtk3.manifest by including it in
the project files, as we are now doing), and embedding the manifest file is
really not supported in MSVC 2010 and later.
Also fix up formatting in the GTK DLL projects.

Use the Python script that was used to create gtk-win32.rc from
gtk-win32.rc.in to similarly create libgtk3.manifest. As the wildcard
character can be used for all architectures, use that.
The libgtk3.manifest file needs to be specified explicitly in the projects,
so that it will be recognized and built into the GTK dll, so update the
project files as well on this part.

In bug 733773, gtk-win32.rc was removed from the dist in the attempt to
make the print dialog on Windows themed, so this script was added so that
the gtk-win32.rc file can be generated during the Visual Studio builds of
GTK+ from the autotools scripts. This is also intended for filling in the
arch of the build for MSVC builds for the manifest that is also required
for fixing bug 733773. Python is used as it is already needed for
This is done as a custom build rule in the Visual Studio projects so that
it is easy to clean and rebuild gtk-win32.rc upon an update.

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.
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.
Since commit 7c2a5072 the gtkdbusgenerated.[c|h] are not included in the
dist tarball and thus have to be generated, which broke the Visual C++
builds.
This patch adds property sheets and custom build rules for the Visual C++
projects so that gtkdbusgenerated.[c|h] will be generated upon building the
GTK+ DLL sources.
This also tells people building GTK+ from the projects that they need to
have Python 2/3 installed and the Python interpretor needs to be in their
PATH before building GTK+ from the projects.
Add the Visual Studio 2010 projects to build the GDK Broadway backend, just
like the Visual Studio 2008 project files in the last commit. Similarly,
split up the property sheets so that they are easier to maintain and can
be made more flexible for different build types. Also remove some unneeded
stuff from some of these items.
Also, fix the filter file completion for GTK, as a source file was excluded
for that and this was overlooked as it seemingly did not cause any trouble.
-Update the pre-configured config.h.win32(.in) to define _GDK_EXTERN as
__declspec (dllexport) as we are not using .def files to export symbols
anymore.
-Update the GDK/GTK DLL projects and the property sheets to stop using
the .symbols/.def files
-Update the property sheets to "install" the newly-introduced GTK headers
-Update the gtk3-demo project to build the new demo sources that must be
built
-Use ApiVersion instead of GtkApiVersion for consistency's sake across
the board
-Add placeholder directives in the property sheets for building
introspection files using .bat files directly from the Visual Studio IDE.
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.
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.
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.
-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
-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.
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.
