[Bug-gnubg] GTK under windows

Hi all,

I used to buld the Windows install archives available on gnubg.org using a Glade/GTK port
normally available (now is down?) at : http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/

Issue was that this port was lagging behind the most recent GTK releases (and one
unfixed bug was affectig gnubg, maybe the move list, cant' rememebr).
So Christian suggested me to use a different port of GTK, with pieces to be fetched here
and there and a coulpe of libs to compile under MSYS (zlib and libxml2, painful under Vista
due to a bug/issue between MSYS and Vista). His instructions are here:

        http://kohn.kiku.dk/~anthon/BuildingGNUbg.pdf


Annoyed by the Vista/MSYS issue, I've been googoling around and found that everything
needed to build gnubg under Windows (I use mingw) is:

- the packages (binaries and dev): GLib, GTK+, Pango, ATK, Cairo, zlib, libpng, libjpeg,
libtiff, freetype and fontconfig, all available at:

        http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html

Actually, almost everything points to:

        http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32

Attention, yuo may have to move around some .h files (created in subdirs of include)
and to manually build a library for zlib (trivial, explained in a text file in the archive).

- gettext: this is a bit messy, since on http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32
you have


        gettext-0.14.5.zip and gettext-dev-0.14.5.zip (you'll need both)
       
or:

        gettext-runtime-0.17.zip, gettext-runtime-dev-0.17.zip and
        gettext-tools-0.17.zip (you'll need all)

(guess they are working out the split of the package).

- gtkglext,available at:

        http://www.bonifazi.eu/appunti/2008/02/gtk-glade-gtkglext-all-in-one-windows.html

- libxml2 available at:

        http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/

I'm not sure it is needed to recompile it under msys. I tried the provided one and it seems to work.

I tried and it seems to work fine (need to adapt a couple of lib names in the makefile probably).
Just in case others are interested.

MaX.
