I've been using gtk-win32 and its associated libraries for about a year or so. The gtk-win32 binaries are compiled using mingw which uses the (now obsolete) Visual C++ 6.0 'C' runtime. This means that the libraries are compatible with mingw (gcc) and with Visual C++ 6.0. With certain caveats, they can also be used with Visual C++ 8.0 which is a much better compiler than the obsolete VC++ 6.0. Most of the projects I build are ones that were originally written for gcc and Linux. Therefore they use the automake functionality that is common on Linux and Unix platforms. I'm looking for a tool that can read an automake file (such as Makefile.am or Makefile.in) and convert it either to a makefile which can be used with VC++, or (even better) to a VC++ project file. I just came across Bakefile and wondered if it would be useful for this? Thanks, John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
