The GTK+ you will :-) > libglade does not depend on much... The GTK+ stack, libxml2 and gettext-runtime. I never got anywhere with that. After a lot of experimenting, I found that if I built in this order: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libidn libidn-1.8 ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv libiconv-1.9.2.tar.gz http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html gettext-0.17.tar.gz ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/ libxml2-2.6.32.tar.gz http://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/Software/56940/libglade.html get libglade-2.6.2 I could actually get libglade to compile and could also build and run a sample application using libglade. > Besides, there are pre-built libglade Win32 binaries at > http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/libglade/ ... I have not checked that one but all that I did look at were missing glade_xml_construct_from_buffer. See http://www.gnome.org/~shaunm/pulse/web/ref/svn.gnome.org/libglade/libglade/trunk problem patched by Murray Cumming Now why would I go through all the trouble of building when there are supposed to be precompiled packages for windows? I have two reasons. The first is that I could not get them to play together except for the original list I posted with subject "Setting up GTK+ on Windows using Mingw". The second and perhaps most important reason is so that I can get the latest version of the various glade related packages. In this list as well as the Glade and gtkmm lists I see various threads about bugs that are fixed. Those fixes often take some time before they make it to the Windows packages. I want to get the basic framework to allow me to build the various gtk/glade packages so I can get the fixes as soon as they are available. As I mentioned above I was able to get all those build and even make a test libglade app. I tried building the latest release of Glade3 but the configure fails with an error. This is from the config.log configure:4058: checking for XML::Parser configure:4064: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool I know that you feel such request might put you on the slippery slide and I also know that some are outside the scope of this list. I am hoping that we can have a set of tools that will build the various gtk and glade things that many people use.
