The Win32 port of GTk+ is a work in progress, and not as stable or
correct as the Unix/X11 version. For more information about the Win32
port, see http://www.gimp.org/tml/gimp/win32/ or
http://www.iki.fi/tml/gimp/win32/ .

To build GTk+ on Win32, you need either the Microsoft compiler and
tools, or gcc-2.95 or later running under cygwin-b20.1 or
later. Compile in gdk\win32 and gtk with `nmake -f makefile.msc` or
`make -f makefile.cygwin`. Before doing a install, check the BIN
definition in gdk\win32\makefile.msc (or makefile.cygwin) and
gtk\makefile.msc (or makefile.cygwin).

See the README.win32 file in the GLib distribution for instructions
how to build with gcc.

The tablet support uses the Wintab API. The Wintab development kit can
be downloaded from http://www.pointing.com. If you don't care for
that, undefine HAVE_WINTAB in config.h.win32 and remove references to
the wntab32x library from the makefile before building.

GTk+ wants to be built with the GNU "intl" library for
internationalisation (i18n). Get the version ported to Win32 (not a
very big deal) from tml's web site mentioned above. We build the
"intl" library as a DLL called gnu-intl.dll (the "gnu" prefix is used
to reduce name clash risks). If you don't want any i18n stuff,
undefine ENABLE_NLS, HAVE_GETTEXT and HAVE_LIBINTL in the
config.h.win32 file, and remove references to the gnu-intl library
from the makefiles.

Note that while the GNU gettext package is under the GPL, the "intl"
part of it as distributed with GNU libc is under the LGPL (like GTk+
or GLib). We want the LGPL one, even if they are the same, more or
less.
