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).
