(And gtk+ 2.10 once the next (source) release of that is done, after which I will produce Win32 binaries.) > i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -o helloworld `pkg-config --libs --cflags gtk+-2.0` helloworld.c You should pass the CFLAGS and LIBS separately. CFLAGS goes before the source files, and LIBS goes *after*. With gcc on Linux it doesn't matter, but the order and position of libraries on the command line *does* matter with gcc on Windows. Also with traditional Unix compilers is is important. I would also spell out the .exe. I.e., what you want is: i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -o helloworld.exe `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0` helloworld.c `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0` --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
