Please do not compile this package (GTK+) in paths that contain
|
|
spaces in them-as strange problems may occur during compilation or during
|
|
the use of the library.
|
|
|
|
A more detailed outline for instructions on building the GTK+ with Visual
|
|
C++ can be found in the following GNOME Live! page:
|
|
|
|
https://live.gnome.org/GTK%2B/Win32/MSVCCompilationOfGTKStack
|
|
|
|
This VS9 solution and the projects it includes are intented to be used
|
|
in a GTK+ source tree unpacked from a tarball. In a git checkout you
|
|
first need to use some Unix-like environment or manual work to expand
|
|
the files needed, like config.h.win32.in into config.h.win32 and the
|
|
.vcprojin files here into corresponding actual .vcproj files.
|
|
|
|
You will need the parts from below in the GTK+ stack: GDK-Pixbuf, Pango,
|
|
ATK and GLib. External dependencies are at least Cairo
|
|
(with Cairo-GObject support, meaning Cairo 1.10.x or later), zlib, libpng,
|
|
gettext-runtime, fontconfig*, freetype*, expat*. See the
|
|
build/win32/vs9/README.txt file in glib for details where to unpack them.
|
|
|
|
It is recommended that one builds the dependencies with VS9 as far as
|
|
possible, especially those from and using the GTK+ stack (i.e. GLib,
|
|
Cairo, ATK, Pango, GDK-Pixbuf), so that crashes caused by mixing calls
|
|
to different CRTs can be kept at a minimum.
|
|
|
|
zlib, libpng, and Cairo do contain support for compiling under VS9
|
|
using VS project files and/or makefiles at this time of writing, For the
|
|
GTK+ stack, VS9 project files are either available under
|
|
$(srcroot)/build/vs9 in the case of GLib (stable/unstable), ATK
|
|
(stable/unstable) and GDK-Pixbuf (unstable), and should be in the next
|
|
unstable version of Pango. There is no known official VS9 build
|
|
support for fontconfig (along with freetype and expat) and
|
|
gettext-runtime, so please use the binaries from:
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/dependencies/ (32 bit)
|
|
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win64/dependencies/ (64 bit)
|
|
|
|
Unzip the binaries obtained from ftp.gnome.org in <root>\vs9\<PlatformName>,
|
|
and build the following, if not already done so:
|
|
|
|
Note: put the resulting zlib, libpng, pcre and Cairo files as follows:
|
|
.dll files: <root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\bin
|
|
.lib files: <root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\lib
|
|
.h files: <root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\include
|
|
|
|
The recommended build order for these dependencies:
|
|
(first unzip any dependent binaries downloaded from the ftp.gnome.org
|
|
as described in the README.txt file in the build/win32/vs9 folder)
|
|
-zlib
|
|
-libpng
|
|
-(for GDK-Pixbuf, if not using GDI+) IJG JPEG
|
|
-(for GDK-Pixbuf, if not using GDI+) libtiff
|
|
[libtiff requires zlib and IJG JPEG]
|
|
-(for GDK-Pixbuf, if not using GDI+) jasper [jpeg-2000 library])
|
|
-(optional for GLib) PCRE (version 8.12 or later, use of CMake to
|
|
build PCRE is recommended-see build/win32/vs9/README.txt of GLib)
|
|
-GLib **
|
|
-Cairo (inclusive of Cairo-GObject)
|
|
-ATK**
|
|
-Pango**
|
|
-GDK-Pixbuf**
|
|
(note the last 3 dependencies are not interdependent, so the last 3
|
|
dependencies can be built in any order)
|
|
|
|
The "install" project will copy build results and headers into their
|
|
appropriate location under <root>\vs9\<PlatformName>. For instance,
|
|
built DLLs go into <root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\bin, built LIBs into
|
|
<root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\lib and GTK+ headers into
|
|
<root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\include\gtk-3.0. This is then from where
|
|
project files higher in the stack are supposed to look for them, not
|
|
from a specific GLib source tree.
|
|
|
|
*About the dependencies marked with *: These dependencies are optional
|
|
as those are not compulsory components for building and running GTK+
|
|
itself, but note that they are needed for people running and building
|
|
GIMP or those who need complex script support via fontconfig. They
|
|
are referred to by components in Cairo and Pango mainly.
|
|
Decide whether you need fontconfig support prior to building Cairo
|
|
and Pango.
|
|
|
|
**:Put the sources of the packages marked with ** in <root>\<package-
|
|
source-tree>, and build with VS9 from there.
