You need to remove the build info from the binary file, which is done with the strip utility (`strip libgtk-3-0.dll'). I guess you looked directly into the build directory that makepkg-mingw used. The binaries packaged into the .xz file created by makepkg-mingw are already stripped. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Developer Access Program for Intel Xeon Phi Processors Access to Intel Xeon Phi processor-based developer platforms.
