[Java-gnome-developer] Windows Compilation

[Jerry H. <jh...@fe...>]

Success! I have Java-Gnome running on Windows. It wasn't that hard. The
hardest part was understanding MinGW. There is nothing special that
needs to be done to compilation itself, other than to know how to use
MinGW properly. The build scripts do not work. But, since they are
autoconfed, making them work shouldn't be too hard.

Right now I am confronted with one big issue. Windows supports Glade. It
doesn't however support the Gnome additional controls (I'm sure it
could, but nobody has ported them). However, Java-Gnome's Glade bindings
do not appear to be usable without a port of org.gnu.gnome. Here is what
I get while trying to auto connect a Glade file created as a GTK+
project (no Gnome widgets used):

There is no AppBar in my project:
