   1 Building wxGTK port with Win32 GDK backend
   2 ------------------------------------------
   3
   4 GTK+ widget toolkit has multiple GDK backends and one of them is Win32.
   5 It is a wrapper around Windows API.

   9 These notes don't consider building wxGTK with X11 backend under Windows.
  10
  11 Building steps:
  12
  13 1. wxGTK/Win32 build is similar to wxMSW one and you should have configured
  14 and be able to build wxWidgets as described in docs/msw/install.txt
  15
  16 2. wxGTK/Win32 is disabled by default in wxWidgets, you need to enable it
  17 in bakefiles manually. TOOLKIT variable should not be a constantly MSW
  18 for required bakefile formats.

  38 Regenerate required make/project files:
  39     cd build\bakefiles
  40     bakefile_gen
  41
  42 3. Download GTK+ for Windows and uncompress files in the directory
  43 without spaces in the name. We suppose later that GTK+/Win32 is
  44 in the C:\gtk directory.

  48 4. Building
  49
  50 4.1 If you are using Visual C++ project files you need to setup GTK+ 2 include directories
  51     C:\gtk\lib\include\gtk-2.0
  52     C:\gtk\lib\include\glib-2.0
  53     C:\gtk\lib\include\cairo
  54     C:\gtk\lib\include\pango-1.0
  55     C:\gtk\lib\include\gdk-pixbuf-2.0
  56     C:\gtk\lib\include\atk-1.0
  57     C:\gtk\lib\glib-2.0\include
  58     C:\gtk\lib\gtk-2.0\include
  59
  60 and library directory
  61
  62     C:\gtk\lib\
  63
  64     See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t9az1d21(v=vs.90).aspx
  65
  66 Open solution file in build\msw directory, select "GTK+ Debug" solution
  67 configuration and build the solution. To be sure that everything is as expected
  68 you can build minimal sample.
  69
  70 GTK+ is linked to wxWidgets always as DLL, so C:\gtk\bin directory should be
  71 in %PATH% environment variable before application run.
  72
  73 4.2 You can also build using nmake:
  74
  75     set INCLUDE=C:\gtk\lib\glib-2.0\include\;C:\gtk\lib\gtk-2.0\include\;C:\gtk\include\cairo\;C:\gtk\include\pango-1.0\;C:\gtk\include\gtk-2.0\;C:\gtk\include\glib-2.0\;C:\gtk\include\gdk-pixbuf-2.0\;C:\gtk\include\atk-1.0\;
  76     set LIB=C:\gtk\lib\;
  77     set PATH=C:\gtk\bin\;%PATH%;
  78
  79     nmake -f makefile.vc "TOOLKIT=GTK" "TOOLKIT_VERSION=2"
  80
  81 or with MinGW:
  82
  83     set CXXFLAGS=%CXXFLAGS% -IC:\gtk\include\gtk-2.0
  84     set CXXFLAGS=%CXXFLAGS% -IC:\gtk\include\glib-2.0
  85     set CXXFLAGS=%CXXFLAGS% -IC:\gtk\include\cairo
  86     set CXXFLAGS=%CXXFLAGS% -IC:\gtk\include\pango-1.0
  87     set CXXFLAGS=%CXXFLAGS% -IC:\gtk\include\gdk-pixbuf-2.0
  88     set CXXFLAGS=%CXXFLAGS% -IC:\gtk\include\atk-1.0
  89     set CXXFLAGS=%CXXFLAGS% -IC:\gtk\lib\glib-2.0\include
  90     set CXXFLAGS=%CXXFLAGS% -IC:\gtk\lib\gtk-2.0\include
  91     set CFLAGS=%CXXFLAGS%
  92     set LDFLAGS=%LDFLAGS% -LC:\gtk\lib
  93     set PATH=C:\gtk\bin\;%PATH%;
  94
  95     mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc "TOOLKIT=GTK" "TOOLKIT_VERSION=2"
  96
  97 5. Now you can use wxGTK/Win32 as wxMSW in your applications.
