Yupp. And I'm still pretty sure my binary distribution with enough pointers to where to get the source as well as checking in everything needed - beside some knowledge and the compiler - into gnome cvs did fulfil the GPL requirements.

There is no dsw file in all of gnome cvs. It's just much cleaner to use handwritten makefile.msc as well as nmake. Beside not depending on a specific compiler/ide version this is much more manageable for about 140 gimp plug-ins or about 20 dia modules. >He mentioned several times he uses CVS versions of >gtk+, you'll have to ask him. > gtk-1-3-win32-production branch (this is almost gtk+1.2 api) >> Well if you distribute the executables, then it is your duty to make >> the stuff complete and up to date.

He's complaining elsewhere.
