Does it compile if you remove "-lintl" from %GTK_COMPILE%?

Once again, is there a "freetype.lib" file in C:\gtk\lib?
If not, then you'll probably need the freetype dev package:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/freetype-dev-2.3.6.zip
If it does already exist, then try compiling in two steps:

Code: (Plaintext)
1 2	gcc -c -o first.o first.c %GTK_COMPILE% gcc -o first.exe first.o %GTK_COMPILE%

Sorry, it's hard to portray tone on a forum, I didn't mean to suggest that you were thick or unread.
I just don't know what your situation is, so I'm asking questions to clarify.
I'm assuming then, that freetype.lib exists.
Did you try compiling in two steps? It has solved problems for me before.

Ok,

I followed the steps (tadeboro ones) and everything seemd to be working ok. But, as a windows user I like widnows and not command lines (...well I actually do like command lines)... anyhow...

I am using NetBeans IDE and tried to use MinGW to compile my projects... but it seems, for what I understant, that the only way that MinGW compiler will work is using inside MSYS... Is there a way I can make things work so I can complie from my IDE and not have to move my files to the "home" folder and complie from MySys?

Thanks!

Welcome to the GTK+ forums :)
If you set the windows path variable to include your MinGW bin directory, then you should be able to use gcc etc. from the windows command line (or netBeans).
My instructional for adding GTK+ to the %PATH% variable can be adapted to this:

Just follow the directions for adding to %PATH% and replace the GTK+ related stuff with the MinGW bin directory

thanks Dreblen for coming to help.......
i have a few questions...
1. what packages do i need to select while installing MinGW??

2. will downloading the "Gtkmm bundle for Windows" work for c file also?

pls reply......

1) I haven't installed MinGW for awhile, so I couldn't really say. I know that you'll need gcc and probably whatever it selects by default.
@tadeboro - This would probably be a good thing to add to your guide, that is, which packages need to be selected from MinGW.

2) I think that it will install the runtime files, but not the C development files.
