Ok, so I downloaded GtkRadiant. Now, whenever i try to run it, I get an error:
"
GtkGLExt-WARNING (recursed) **: cannon create GdkGLContext

aborting...
"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

do you have all the dependencies installed? https://zerowing.idsoftware.com/svn/radiant/GtkRadiant/trunk/COMPILING
namely, GtkGLExt? http://www.k-3d.org/gtkglext/Main_Page

I have them now, and GtkGlExt is installed, but don't know where to put the dependencies. Do I just put them in the Gtk folder in program files? (I'm using Vista)

if you put the dependencies in the gtk folder, it might make it harder to uninstall if ever decide to,
but if you do, it should be in the PATH already, so it might be a good way to test the dependencies.
did you have GtkGLExt installed before?

1. How do you test the dependencies?

2. I didn't have it installed before, but it's installed now, still getting the same error

what I meant by test dependencies was just to see if GtkGLExt works.
If I remember right, it comes with some examples, do they work?

The installer for GtkGLExt should unpack a gtkglext-examples/ directory in the root dir of where it installed
(e.g. C:\gtlglext\gtkglext-examples)
If I remember correctly, I didn't have to compile them, so, as for testing them:
If they work, they work, if they don't, they don't.
The wglinfo program might tell you if something's wrong

I don't know what it would say, because I don't know what your problem is :)
but it would say that there's some kind of error.
as for getting the other apps to run, you need to add C:\GTK\bin (or wherever Gtk is installed) to your %PATH% environment variable,
if it's not in C:\GTK, it's probably in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Gtk\bin,
I'm working on a howto on my blog, I'll post a link once I finish

I've decided to try Ubuntu on my PC (not getting rid of windows yet, my laptop has an enormous disk), and I'm going to try gtk on there.
