Building wxGTK port with Win32 MSys2 GDK backend
|
||
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GTK+ widget toolkit has multiple GDK backends and one of them is Win32.
|
||
|
|
It is a wrapper around Windows API.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These notes don't consider building wxGTK with X11 backend under Windows.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The MSys2 website is http://www.msys2.org/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These building steps are NOT the normal way to build MSys2 MinGW packages.
|
||
|
|
But, they are a way the wxWidgets developers can test that wxWidgets
|
||
|
|
can build the wxGTK/Win32 libraries under MSys2 MinGW.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the MSys2 way please see https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages

#Note: The "#" is used in front of a comment to help the people who cut
|
||
|
|
# and paste these directions.
|
||
|
|
#Warning: At the time these directions were written the GTK version 3
|
||
|
|
# was NOT able to create wxGTK/Win32 libraries that were usable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#1. Install the mingw32 packages needed to build wxGTK/Win32 using the
|
||
|
|
# configure/make build method.
|
||
|
|
# From the MSys2 prompt or MSys2 MinGW prompt:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# The 32 bit Mingw packages are prefixed with "mingw-w64-i686-";
|
||
|
|
# Change the prefix to "mingw-w64-x86_64-" if you wish to do 64 bit.
