Does someone has good information on how to use gtk+ under windows?
I wanted to use GTK+ since from what I heard, its a great library. Unfortunately, lot of DLL, and can't manage to make it work. There is no other cross-platform GUI library in C (except FLTK). With code::block, managed to finally build an application, to finally discover that some feature don't work, i get compiler and linker message again... The code is 100% OK, this is not related to source. Code tested by many people from some tutorial. Its configuring linker and compiler that cause me lot of trouble.
I really want to use GTK+, because contrary to Qt, it is a little bit more lower level (I mean that the Qt framework is just to much complete, with GTK+, they don't give us everything, more work to do, harder), and for learning purpose, I think i will learn more using something a little lower level. Also, Qt is C++, and i think i should continue more month on C before jumping on C++.
Under Linux, no problem at all making GTK+ to work with pkg-config. But if I want to use GTK+, its because its C, low level, AND CROSS-PLATFORM. Otherwise, if I was going to remain locked to linux for GUI, i would rather use motif library than using a cross platform library when i can't do cross-platform development.
Here is one of the best discover i did recently, very good tutorial:
