GTK Libraries in WIndows

richardcarranza

I use the GTK libraries in linux. The book I use is "Begining
GTK+/Gnome Programming" by Peter Wright. The book is intended for
linux users. So, I am wondering how I can do the same thing in
windows? I am mostly having trouble compiling in windows since the
compiler says that it cant open the gtk headers: "gtk/gtk.h"

This group only discusses ISO C. GTK is a very popular GUI toolkit and
must surely have groups and mailing lists of it's own where this
question will be better answered.

You could try the Windows port of GTK. However, this is off topic here
ince GTK is not part of C. I suggest you try the GTK mailing list and/or
a Windows group.

Literally millions of programs, large and small, targetting dozens of
platforms have used and continue to use C. If this group is opened up
to discussions pertaining to all the platforms, and their specialities,
traffic would increase to such levels that the current "regulars" in
the group, who are contributing a part of their valueble time and
expertise, may find it too chaotic to continue to participate in.

Besides, we do have groups, mailing-lists or forums for *most* of the
current popular C implementations , and programs. One such example would
be GTK. I'm sure they would be having mailing-lists on their website.
There you'll be able to post to an audience who would be knowing much
more about GTK than shooting in the dark here and hoping to catch
someone with the required knowledge to answer your question.

[Follow-ups set.]

Logical error. Apache (the web server) is written in C, and yet this
would not be a good forum to discuss Apache, or even development on
Apache modules.

This newsgroup is pretty strict about adhering conversations regarding
ISO C. Since any non-standard libraries or APIs are not part of the
standard, they are by definition off-topic.

You have a GTK-on-Windows problem, not a C-the-language problem. You
will likely get more help in the appropriate forums. See a GNU/Gimp
specific newsgroup, or try the web: <http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/>

Can you help me with the video editor I just installed? It's written
in C, and it's telling me it can't find an index on the DVD. What's
wrong?

By the way, the book I qouted above is about C programs that are used
to form GUI's and use the GTK libraries. It is a very well known book
and it has many many free programs in C that are used with GTK. Maybe
you are not familiar with GTK but that doesnt mean that it is not part
of the C discussion

As an aside, please quote context in your replies. Not all readers of
this group will have access to the previous articles at all times. Read
the following to familiarise yourself with this group and it's
netiquette:

<http://cfaj.freeshell. org/google/>
<http://clc-wiki.net/wiki/Introduction_to _comp.lang.c>
<http://www.safalra.com/special/googlegroupsrep ly/>
<http://en.wikipedia.or g/wiki/USENET>
<http://en.wikipedia.or g/wiki/Netiquette>

Coming to the actual content of your post, my previous reply to you
still stands relevant. While this group may have hundreds of posters it
has only a few dozen "regulars" who make posts to this group
worthwhile. It seems their consensus is that this newsgroup should
continue to be devoted to ISO C, as it seems to be one of the very few
groups, (if not the only one), for this subject.

If posts on every C implementation and program were allowed, the group
would stand the risk of becoming overloaded and might lose it's
"regulars" and hence, some of it's value. See also one of my other
replies to you where I've indicated a link to a page with several
mailing-lists devoted to GTK.

Python debug libraries

Circular Dependencies Between Libraries

by: barias | last post by:

Although circular dependencies are something developers should normally avoid, unfortunately they are very easy to create accidentally between classes in a VS project (i.e. circular compile-time dependencies). But then I started wondering how "easy" it would be to similarly make a NON-RUNTIME circular dependency between (implicitly linked) DLLs. Indeed authors like John Lakos, who focus on compile/link-time dependencies (not run-time),...
