Hans Breuer has done it (at least at some time) using MSVC. Hans, can you tell us more? If I understand corrrectly, Hans had to build some of the libraries in GIMP 1.3 as static libraries, even if they really are supposed to be dynamic (DLLs). (They are shared libraries on Unix (but I think GIMP 1.3 is developed only on Linux).) I ran into problems myself when I tried to build it (some months ago) (using autoconfiscation, libtool and gcc) because of problems with the libraries, the code as it currently is seems to assume ELF features. I.e., it that there can be unresolved symbols in shared libraries that get resolved at run time either from the main program or from another shared library. Or something like that, don't remember exactly. (ELF is the object file format used by for instance Linux and Solaris. But there are several Unixes that don't use ELF. I wonder whether GIMP 1.3 has been built on some of these more obscure Unixes?) > Is there any possiblity to move gtk2 to windows mahines? Sure, GTK+ 2.0 has been ported, see www.gimp.org/win32/downloads.html. On Windows, perhaps not quite as reliable as GTK+ 1.3.0 yet, though. --tml
