Done for the msvc build and just committed. _But_ there are other more serious issues with the win32 build: - GIMP's direct usage of fontconfig IMO fontconfig is a X-only library which shouldn't be ported to win32. Why should one want to inherit the mess which X fonts are on a platform with better font support built-in ? - GIMP's dependency on pangoft2 (1.2) The dependency on Ft2 isn't such severe as the fontconfig one, but pangoft2-1.2 does depend on fontconfig. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2002-June/msg00008.html I'm still convinced that the native pangowin32 backend should be the first class citizen on win32, but I appear to be the only one: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94791 has the rotten bits :) - Some brokeness of glib::g_spawn_async on win32 Without patching it The Gimp can't talk to it's plug-ins anymore. Although I have a patch it is probably too dirty to be included in GLib ...
