Re: Win32 and the GTK bitmap_create_from_data problem

[Bernhard Reiter]

Hi Bill,

try to search the archives of the devel and users list.
Some people managed to get it to run with the right versions.

Unfortunately the windows32 port is currently unmaintained
which leaves us other developers a bit at a loss to 
quickly resolve bugs for this platform.
