This list is just what I arrived at after some weeks of Googling and trial and error. If there is a better way, then I would love to edit my list to be more helpful to others like me who want to get started but find this all rather confusing. Would the "official" stack to which you refer be this All-in-one bundle at http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html? > ftp.gnome.org in general. But on the other hand I don't use Glade > myself, and maybe indeed it is better to use what gladewin32 provides If not for Glade, I probably never would have gotten started in Gtk programming. While I did experiment once with some basic Gtk the hard way, I realized that the only way I wanted to do programing is with a tool like Glade. Most of my previous programming experience has been with Borland products like CBuilder 6. > If you do have a cairo.pc that refers to pixman-1, then just edit out > the pixman-1 from the .pc file. (The cairo.pc in the latest cairo-dev I just tried it and it worked. Thanks I tried wiping my GTK and starting over with the All-in-one bundle at http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html. I tried downloading and building Glade glade3-3.4.5 this GTK installation but didn't get very far. It wanted the gettext, gettext-tools and iconv which I found at http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html. Then it wanted perl XML-Parser which I found but things went downhill from there. It seems there are still a lot of Perl modules needed to build but aren't in msys. So, while I am very much in agreement with you that it is nice to get the latest, I am probably stuck with the precompiled packages that I found because I don't have the expertise to build everything on my own. Perhaps I can at least use the GTK from http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html but am still stuck with the precompiled Glade. Any comments or suggestions?
