I downloaded the Gtk+ 2.22 and unzipped it to ~install/gtk Ms-Windows theme is nicer than before on Win7 - the issue with white backgrounds to the menu items which made them hard to read is solved!! Yay!
The download doesn't include GtkSourceView though so there is no syntax highlighting though. I tried downloading the latest windows binary (2.10) for GtkSourceView linked to from here: http://projects.gnome.org/gtksourceview/download.html http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gtksourceview/ I unzip that to ~install/gtk. Now when I try to load 'ide/gtk' I get a message that libxml2-2.dll is missing. (Note that the page above mentions that GtkSourceView requires libxml2) So I find the web page for that: http://xmlsoft.org/ That points to windows binaries here: http://www.zlatkovic.com/libxml.en.html I download the latest (2.7.7) ftp://ftp.zlatkovic.com/libxml/ And unzip to ~install/gtk. Still get the same error message. Try with older versions of libxml2 and adding iconv as well with no change. I then copied libgtksourceview-2.0-0.dll from the original gtk folder supplied by Jsoftware. Now works fine. I established that the only steps that seem to be necessary are to a) Unzip the Gtk+ 2.22 download in ~install/gtk b) unzip the GtkSourceView 2.10 download in ~install/gtk c) copy over the Jsoftware-supplied libgtksourceview-2.0-0.dll to ~install/gtk/bin There is no need to install libxml2 - perhaps the file supplied by Jsoftware has the libxml2 compiled into it? I didn't come up with a solution that let me download binaries for Gtk+ with GtkSourceView from 3rd-party websites that worked. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of Sherlock, Ric > Sent: Thursday, 11 November 2010 10:08 > To: Beta forum > Subject: Re: [Jbeta] getgtkide > > > From: Eric Iverson > > Sent: Thursday, 11 November 2010 09:48 > > > > GTK installation: > > > > > > Ric mentioned 2.16 in preference to 2.22 and I need an official > > position on > > this.
