Hi.

Even with no theme installed, glade should load some default icons from it's data directory. Can you check if you have any files in C:\devel\gtk\share\glade3\pixmaps\hicolor\22x22\actions (replace C:\devel\gtk with your gtk installation path)?

Hi.

Sorry for late response.

Those pngs are fine and should be loaded by glade. I reinstalled my windows gtk installation in attempt to replicate your errors, but everything works fine here. (I installed from all-in-one C-only installer listed at the end of my tutorial.)

Did you try to install GTK+ this way?

Hello and welcome to the GTK+ forums.

Is glade-3 executable present in your bin folder?

Oh dear oh dear. I started out on a project using GTK over a year ago. I am virtualising my development environment and need to reinstall all my development tools. Everything is going great apart from this bit.

I now have a hug mess on my HDD from following the walkthroughs on here. Are we using mingw or ghc? Are we hacking environment variables or not?

I have some kind of bastardisation of the first and second walkthroughs that just gives me thousands of compile time errors, and I have have lost two entire days on this now.

It's an awful lot of code to put in the bin and go to .Net, so can someone please put together a definitive walkthrough, or installer or something. I hope to go release my project to the public but get a sick to the pit of my stomach feeling when I feel that I have invested so much time and effort in these tools and they are just so flaky and troublesome as to be unmaintainable.

Having followed the walkthrough, and overcoming the CC1 file error, I now get

Still battling away at this. I have managed to plug some holes in the environment variables and install missing libs but now I am stumped with this one

\mingw\lib\gcc\mingw32\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lfontconfig

On the front page of GTK download screen FontConfig is listed as a download but the zip contains no lib file! Nor is there any hint given as to what to do with the contents of the zip file.

After all this time, has no one written an installer? Please help. I really wanted my project to be all open source, but I am losing sooooo much time on this stuff I am seriously thinking about bailing and going down the .Net route, which would be a great pity.

I have extracted the GTK all in one bundle from http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html to the c:\gtk directory. This has cured most of the missing libs.

Now I am getting

\mingw\lib\gcc\mingw32\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lgcc

Nearly in tears :roll:

OK, I am compiling now. I wanted to post my findings.

I completely removed the c:\ghc folder, and any reference to it from my environment variables.

I installed MingW from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/
version 5.1.6

I also extracted the GTK bundle from http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gtk+/2.16/gtk+-bundle_2.16.6-20090911_win32.zip

Into the C:\GTK folder

I think my environment variables are the same as per the first walkthrough, but not ovviously including the one for C:\GHC

HTH
