And I'm asking you for all informations that can help us to do this
job and support this lib for Windows platform.
As someone who regularly builds gtkmm on Windows I initially found this
message a bit confusing. Admittedly, though... I'm still building gtkmm
version 2. But when I typed "gtkmm" and "windows" into Google, I soon
realised that a lot of the links seem to end up in a page which says
"this page has not been created yet". Binary packages (i.e. pre-built
libraries) do exist though:-
http://www.gtkmm.org/en/download.shtml#Binary
So maybe there's been some delay in creating the various information pages??
Anyway Romain - you'll need to consider which compiler you want to use.
MSVC and mingw (gcc) are both supported. Maybe someone will correct me
here - but from a look at my own installation, VC5, VC8 and VC10 are the
only MSVC compilers supported currently (for gtkmm v2). And (I'm
guessing here...) the pre-built binary packages are most likely built
with gcc. They're probably okay to get you started - but if you're
building your app with (say) MSVC10, you should ultimately aim to build
your GTK libs with the same compiler.
Remember also that you'll need libraries which match your app (64-bit
libs for a 64-bit app or 32-bit libs for a 32-bit app).
And don't forget that libgtkmm isn't a stand-alone library. It needs
other dependencies, such as libglib / libgtk / libsigc++ etc, etc. A
guy called Tarnyko is probably one of the most prolific supporters of
GTK/GTKMM for Windows. Search in Google for "tarnyko" and "gtk".
