The Win32 port of GTK is a work in progress, and not as stable or
|
|
correct as the Unix/X11 version. For more information about the Win32
|
|
port, see http://www.gimp.org/tml/gimp/win32/ or
|
|
http://www.iki.fi/tml/gimp/win32/ .
|
|
|
|
The current (CVS HEAD) version of the Win32 backend does not
|
|
necessarily work properly. The code here is the
|
|
gtk-1-3-win32-production branch that was branched off from before the
|
|
addition of the no-flicker and other recent functionality. This is
|
|
what should be used by "production" code until the CVS HEAD version is
|
|
useable. (But note, the Win32 backend has never been claimed to be
|
|
"production quality", although it works surprisingly well for the
|
|
GIMP.)

|
Building GTK+ on Win32
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
There are three 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 might be hell to setup correctly.
|
|
|
|
Personally I run configure like this:
|
|
|
|
CC='gcc -mpentium -fnative-struct' CPPFLAGS='-I/target/include' CFLAGS=-O2 LDFLAGS='-L/target/lib' ./configure --disable-static --prefix=/target --with-wintab=/src/wtkit126 --with-ie55=/src/workshop/ie55_lib --host=i386-pc-mingw32 --enable-maintainer-mode
|
|
|
|
2) Use gcc from mingw, or gcc -mno-cygwin from Cygwin. Say make -f
|
|
makefile.mingw in gdk and gtk.
|
|
|
|
3) Use the Microsoft compiler, cl and Make, nmake. Say nmake -f
|
|
makefile.msc in gdk and gtk.
|
|
|
|
Alternatives 1 and 2 also generate Microsoft import libraries (.lib),
|
|
if you have lib.exe available. They should also work for
|
|
cross-compilations from Unix, as long as you pass the correct compiler
|
|
name.
|
|
|
|
Note that I use mainly gcc myself, and thus the build setup for
|
|
Microsoft's nmake and cl might be a bit rusty. Hans Breuer has been
|
|
taking care of them. At times, I and he disagree a bit, and the gcc
|
|
and msc makefiles might not produce compatible or identically named
|
|
DLLs and import libraries.
|
|
|
|
Using GTK+ on Win32
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
To use GTK on Win32, you also need either gcc or MSVC. Other compilers
|
|
might work, but don't count on it. Note that if you use gcc, in order
|
|
to use the prebuilt DLLs, you *must* compile your code with gcc
|
|
-mno-cygwin -fnative-struct.
|
|
|
|
Multi-threaded use of GTK+ on Win32
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
Multi-threaded GTK+ programs might work 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. The Wintab development kit can
|
|
be downloaded from http://www.pointing.com. If you don't care for
|
|
that, undefine HAVE_WINTAB_H in config.h.win32 and remove references to
|
|
the wntab32x library from the makefile before building.
|
|
|
|
Libintl
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
GTK wants to be built with the GNU "intl" library for
|
|
internationalisation (i18n). Get the version ported to Win32 (not a
|
|
very big deal) from the web site mentioned above. The "intl" library
|
|
as gets built as a DLL called libintl-1.dll. If you don't want any
|
|
i18n stuff, undefine ENABLE_NLS, HAVE_GETTEXT and HAVE_LIBINTL in the
|
|
config.h.win32 file, and remove references to the intl library from
|
|
the makefiles.
|
|
|
|
Note that while the GNU gettext package is under the GPL, the "intl"
|
|
part of it is under the LGPL (like GTK or GLib), as of
|
|
gettext-0.10.40.
|
|
|
|
ActiveIMM
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
If you want to build a GTK+ that supports ActiveIMM (the Input Method
|
|
Manager for non-EastAsia locales that can be used on Win9x/NT4), you
|
|
need the dimm.h header file. That is somewhat difficult to find, but
|
|
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/samples/internet/wizard/ seems to
|
|
be a good place to look nowadays. If you use autoconfiscated build,
|
|
pass the --with-ie55 flag to configure specifyin the location of the
|
|
ie55_lib directory created by downloading the IE5.5 headers and libs
|
|
from the above URL.
