Re: [Mingw-users] gnome GTK widgets and libglade

[Neil Z. <nza...@gm...>]

Hello all,

I am looking for some help getting my application to work under windows. But I
would also be able to use glade (http://glade.gnome.org/) under windows, with
support for both GTK+ and GNOME widgets (glade can be compiled with
support for GTK+ widgets only, but I need to use both, since my application
uses some widgets which are not available as GTK+ widgets). I don't care
how I get there, as long as I can get glade to run under Windows with
support for GNOME widgets.

So I downloaded glade from:
http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/

Alas, this version is missing support for GNOME widgets, so when I open it
I cannot see any gnome widgets. Now what?

I am assuming that program was compiled with mingw32, right? How would I know?
But I need to get glade with support for GNOME widgets to compile under win32.

Thank you for your help,

Neil
