Is this really a big enough issue to be worth writing such a long message about? I mean, surely people who build GTK+ software on Windows quickly learn to use -mwindows when they eventually are done with debugging and want to build their exe as a ready to be deployed to end-users windowing app? I don't think we should force the building of windowing exes by putting -mwindows in the .pc file. During development it is nice to be able to just printf out tracing and debugging output, and if -mwindows was the default, we would instead have lots of newbies wondering why their debugging printfs don't show up anywhere. > Sorry, entering bug reports into the product pkg-config has been > disabled. Well, the .pc file in question is part of GTK+, not pkg-config. Anyway, now that the discussion is here on the list, no need to open a bug report against GTK+, I would just resolve it with WONTFIX anyway. --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
