How do I make the GTK-1.3.DLL file? The Gtk examples need this to work.

Jeff...

I have the win package ready to go if you wish to use it instead it is 6 meg though.

it includes everything you have to have and compiles on win32...

I am going to upload it to a ftp directory...I will give you the address once it is up..

This IS the gtk library. You have to go to www.gtk.org and get the library.

I sent the dlls to him he should be able to run now...

I built the win install for some of the others in case they wish to work on lazarus from windows
they should be able to unzip this package and be running in about a minute maybe two at the most ;)

I really need to just build this download the next hour or two and fix these probelms then everyone can download the package and get on with it.

All I see are sources... Do I have to download C as well to compile the DLL? It's something you take for granted under linux. It's always there.

I really need to get that RH6 CD, install it, and quit whining about winbloze...

Thanks for the DLL's, they did the trick as far as getting lazarus to run. I notice it doesn't do a lot yet, but that's what we're here for.

Will this be CVS compatible for updates? If so, then that might be a great starting point for the HowTo. Now that I know what works, and Mike has passed along a site to get the necessary DLL's, I should have the whole thing put together in about half an hour and cleaned up and out for review in another half.

Cliff:

Good to hear. I've had the same problems Jeff has had getting makefiles, etc, to work. Somehow I finally got things set up such that I can get source with cvs and run makefiles successfully. I've mentioned I've got another project going and I'm trying to make life easier for participants. To that end, I'm going to try to bundle fpc, cvs, a couple of editors (rhide and PFE), and a few setup docs into a single package with a windows installation program. If you'd like lazarus bundled with it, I'd be happy to add it. I'd also be happy to run the package by you guys before distribution for comment. Just let me know.

I'd also like to make a C compiler available. Any comments on what might be better (I'm looking to build win32 and linux non-gui executables) between the cygwin compiler and djgpp?

Oh, send it to my home email at

Also, I commented out those lines from dialogs.pp and lazarus now compiles. Of course without the DLL's, it won't run.

there.

Please send it. I can suffer throught the download if you can suffer through the upload ;^) I just spent 30 minutes downloading the full gtk and glib, still no DLL's!!!

Jeff.

Slow down, you guys!

I might be missing a point but Jeff, don't you just want the dll's necessary to compile fpc/gtk stuff under win32? If so, you don't want the whole source of gtk and some C compiler. My understanding is that it's quite difficult to even derive the dll's. If what you want are the dll's, you can download them from:

http://user.sgic.fi/~tml/gimp/win32/

If those don't work for some reason, send a note and I'll email you a working set. The only reason they wouldn't work would be because the dll's have changed since the fpc bindings were written/tested.

Good luck.

Mike Z.

I don't think there is a choice:
If you want windows executables, you need the cygwin compiler, AFAIK.

Michael.
