Well, I don't have such plans, it takes enough time to provide builds of the stack built with MinGW, but anybody is free to do it of course, and if they promise some degree of long-time commitment, I don't see why such builds couldn't also be hosted on ftp.gnome.org. (It's not my decision, of course.) > Or would that then screw things up for MinGW users? The DLLs should ideally be differently named depending on which compiler, and thus C runtime, is used. That is true for the existing project files for MSVC8 and MSVC9 in GLib. I have occasionally hacked on project files for atk, Pango and GTK+, too, and will hopefully commit them at some point. (Also other people have been working on such, see below.) > Or does anyone know of an unofficial build using VC++8 that I could obtain > from somewhere? https://launchpad.net/oah and https://launchpad.net/hsbuild ? Please note the "OAH WILL DO NASTY THINGS TO YOUR SYSTEM!" comment though, and be careful. I personally am not totally convinced that the approach OAH and HS Build take is the right one, as they seem to want to pull in a bunch of stuff that "normal" Win32-based developers probably don't want to get involved with like bzr, perl, python and vala. But I guess that is necessary if one wants to support building from a git checkout. (The project files I am occasionally hacking on are intended to be usable only from an unpacked tarball where generated source files are already present.) --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
