AFAIK, you are still talking about GTK+ applications built within MSYS2 here, so mingw-w64-public is definitely not a good place to discuss it as many subscribers to mingw-w64-public do not use MSYS2, so for them it's just noise. You are better off sending MSYS2 specific questions to http://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/mailman/msys2-users/ or else going onto the #msys2 OFTC IRC channel and asking there. > Thanks > > Mark > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > _______________________________________________ > Mingw-w64-public mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-w64-public ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Mingw-w64-public mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-w64-public
