Re: GTK+3 win32/64 build environment

[tarnyko tarnyko net]

Hi folks, 

The Linux cross-compile buildenv for GTK+3 is available for download : 

http://www.tarnyko.net/repo/gtk3_build_system/ 

GTK+3.4.2_build_system-crosslinux-v1.tar.bz2 

It currently only works on CentOS 6.0 x86/amd64, but it's easy to extend to 
other distros -see tree & scripts in "z_Install".
There's no Win64 target yet (have to work on that ), Win32 only for the 
moment. 

As for the way the buildenv works, you better read the scripts, but to 
summarize : it first builds most of the stack statically for Linux, then 
rebuilds dynamically for Windows using some of the tools compiled before. 

--------------------- 

I've put the three buildenvs (win32, win64, cross-linux) on Git : 

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk3-build-system/tree/ 

If someone wants to contribute, here is some TODO : 

- merge the 3 buildenvs in 1 (should not be hard) ;
- enhance the scripts so they use less hard-coded names ;
- enhance the scripts so they perform better tests, and give more info to 
the user regarding what's going on. 


So we are now able to : 

- Compile natively 32-bit GTK+3 from 32-bit Windows ;
- Compile natively 64-bit GTK+3 from 64-bit Windows ;
- Cross-compile 32-bit GTK+3 from 32-bit/64-bit Linux (CentOS 6) ;
