RE: Newbie Questins

Ok. This should be easy, it takes me 10 minutes to get the WHOLE gtk library
thing setup on windows on my box.

Here is what you want to do, download all the file from Tor's site, extract
them ALL to a common directory, say gtkWin32 (probably easier if you ignore
case and make it simple - something like 'top').

Then you want to edit your environment (if on windows 4/2k/xp) or your
autoexec.bat (if any other windows os) and add to the path the c:\top\lib
and c:\top\bin directories.  This contains the pkg-config (so you dont have
to copy it anywhere) and all the libs for your apps to find when running.

From there... all you should have to do is use something like below:

(for object files)
gcc -c -Wall -g -mms-bitfields -I/c/projects/OpsConsoleSystem/Tools
`pkg-config glib-2.0 gdk-2.0 gtk+-2.0 libglade-2.0 --cflags` oc_help.c -o
Win32MinGW/oc_help.o

(for linking)
gcc -o Win32MinGW/ops_console Win32MinGW/oc_help.o
-L/c/projects/OpsConsoleSystem/Tools/Win32MinGW -mwindows -lTools
`pkg-config glib-2.0 gdk-2.0 gtk+-2.0 libglade-2.0 --libs` -lgdi32

pkg-config should be in c:\gtkWin32\bin, not c:\gtkWin32.

Perhaps this is a case inconsistancy? Should C:\MSYS\1.0\GTKWIN32\lib be
c:\msys\gtkWin32\lib ?
Plus C:\MSYS\1.0\GTKWIN32\lib should be c:\gtkWin32\lib or /c/gtkWin32/lib?
