Because the package you currently own is the GTK dynamic version, not the static one. It's stored in the DLL's. You need one static library (not an imprt library) to link it all statically.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Im compiling a GTK+ app with Dev C++.
But when i run it on a other computer,
it says it missing some dlls.
instead of including the dlls i want to link it static,
but i cant get it to work....
any idea?
I'm afraid you have to compile the GTK library from the sources. Maybe these links are useful to you:
www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/index.html
www.gtk.org
why?
i installed gtk from the devc++ package
i just want to compile a GTK app static so windows users dosnt need the DLLs...
isnt that possible?
