I'm not the moderator, just a user who works with Gtk+ for quite some time... I've never tried to actually cross compile for Windows, while I did a full compilation on both - Linux and Windows (as I require certain OpenGL widgets support, which was quite poor for quite long time ... it got a lot better in past years).
Icons, among other resources, are missing from the source itself and have to be "shipped" outside of the libraries in 'share\icons\STYLE', next to executable. I believe this is mandatory as of now. I had to obtain the style separately and add it to appropriate locations.
I'm not even sure you can include whole style for Gtk+ 3.x inside the library (although I might be wrong here!).

My goal is to produce a statically linked executable that just runs without having to install anything else (libraries, themes, etc.). I saw that in a previous thread someone said that GTK+ can't be statically linked, but that isn't true, it actually works fine (at least on Windows).There is only one thing that doesn't work: the icons that are part of the standard interface (for example, the "+" and "-" that appear on the buttons of a GtkSpinButton) aren't displayed. When I run it, the program prints a warning saying that it can't find the "hicolor" theme, and all icons are replaced by a "missing icon" symbol.I suppose that if I installed the theme on the target system, it would work (although I'm not sure in which directories GTK+ looks for it). But as I wrote above, I want the icons to be embedded in the executable, so that one can just download the file and run it. That is definitely possible with GTK+ 2, I compiled several programs and they all work without issues. But I haven't been able to make it work with GTK+ 3, so I'm asking for your help.The problem is demonstrated by the attached screenshots:- a window containing a GtkSpinButton (spinbutton-gtk3.png)- a window containing a GtkToolbar with two buttons (toolbar-gtk3.png)- the latter program rewritten for GTK+ 2 (toolbar-gtk2.png). As you can see, here the icons are displayed correctly.I'm also attaching the source code of those examples.I've tried to dig into the GTK+ sources to find where the icons are generated, but got lost. I found that there's a program called gtk-update-icon-cache that I guess might have to do with that, but I didn't understand how it's supposed to be used and where it's called during the build process (if it's called at all).To reproduce what I did, go to http:/mxe.cc/ and follow the instructions. The GTK+ 3 library is configured with the following options (specified in the src/gtk3.mk file in the MXE source tree):--disable-glibtest --disable-cups --disable-test-print-backend --disable-gtk-doc --disable-man --with-included-immodules --enable-win32-backendMXE also applies a few patches to the GTK+ sources (file src/gtk3-1-fixes.patch).Thank you in advance for any help that you can provide.Gerardo
