    hi,

    i am new with Dev C++, and trying to use Gtk+ with Dev C++. 

    i am using Windows 2000 and also have Cygwin installed.

    i downloaded v4.9.5.0 and also installed all available packages including GTK+, WxWindows, and FLTK, using vUpdate.  i was able to use Templates provided with WxWindows and FLTK to get them compiled and working.  but, i couldn't find corresponding Template for GTK+.  when i tried DevEx extension for Dev C++, it was okay.  however, i would like to use GTK+ 2.0 instead of 1.3.  anyone willing to help?

    thanks,

    dolchan

      gtk+2.0 was originally known as gtk 1.3.
      the previous version of gtk was 1.2.*
      The GTK dev's kinda made that a little confusing.

      I have successfully written stuff using gtk+ 2.0 by installing dev-c++ and then by installing the gtk2.0.3 devpak from the devc++ site.
      http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/packages/bin/gtk-dev-2.0.3.DevPak is the full url.  You will need to install the imagelib devpak before the gtk devpak, which can be found at http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/packages/bin/imagelib-1.DevPak

      To run gtk-based programs, you will need the gtk-runtime stuff, which is linked properly on the dev-c++ site.  (Which, you may or may not already have.)
