[Bug-gnubg] GTK+ 2.2 and configure on Windows

[Holger]

Hi,

For those who are interested: Recently, I've been trying GTK+ 2.2 on
Windows 95. Finally, I've succeeded in compiling with gcc 3.2 (didn't try
with 2.95) and an handcrafted Makefile.

But unfortunately it's unusable, at least on my computer. I have an older
ATI graphics card, and here I get kind of horizontal lines over the entire
screen width on programme execution. Also, I can wait for the crash that
usually happens in the graphics card driver. And the freetype problem
persists in the same way and makes the system very instable afterwards.
I'd thought I could comment on Nardy's experiences with slow performance of
GTK+. But since the programme is hardly usable in this state I didn't
really get that far.

If someone could comment on this whether you had the same or different
experiences. And maybe on the following as well:

I'm trying to build GNUbg via configure; make on Windows. Configure works
more or less ok as far as I can tell. For libxml-2.0 there is no .pc file,
so configure doesn't find it.

But I have problems with make. autoconf runs autom4te which fails with:
cd . && J:/MSYS/BIN/sh.exe /home/HB/gnubg/missing --run autoconf
Befehl oder Dateiname nicht gefunden. (command or file not found)
Befehl oder Dateiname nicht gefunden.

autom4te: cannot create /tmp/t46517.-761737: No such file or directory
 at J:\MSYS\mingw\bin\autom4te line 1090
J:\MSYS\mingw\bin\make.exe: *** [configure] Error 1

I couldn't find out which commands were not found. I even watched with
'File Monitor' which reports every file access. Apart from lots of file
enumeration in several directories there didn't happen anything, especially
nothing that failed. I'm using ActiveState Perl 5.6.1.

Maybe anybody has got some hints for me?

Regards,
