Hi,

I have created a basic gtk+ gui in glade-2, using c++ output. I can compile it using the autogen.sh and make, but I would like to compile it to and windows binary. I'm running debian.

I have installed the mingw32 compiler, and I have compiled console windows binaries with it.

Can one change the compiler make uses, to the mingw32 compiler? Is the mingw32 compiler a good choice for this?

I use MinGW and works fine.
my makefile (very simple) is :
SRCS = \

main.cc \

nk_sproto.c \

nk_spbase.c



MDEPS= \

Makefile \

nk_types.h \

nk_errc.h \

nk_spbase.h \

nk_sproto.h





CC=/c/mingw/bin/g++



#`pkg-config --cflags --libs gtkglext-1.0 gtk+-2.0 gtkmm-2.4`

MYCFLAGS= -g -I. -I../common $(shell pkg-config --cflags gtkmm-2.4)

MYLDFLAGS=$(shell pkg-config --libs gtkmm-2.4)




mytest.exe: $(SRCS) $(MDEPS)

$(CC) $(MYCFLAGS) -mwindows -mms-bitfields $(SRCS) -o mytest $(MYLDFLAGS)



clean:

rm -f mytest.exe

This Makefile business is confusing me. I'm new to this.

I've replaced your Makefile with the one in the root of the output directory of glade, and when that didn't work, also $

When I type 'make' I get:

Makefile:3: *** missing separator. Stop.

I changed the CC to point to my ming, but it looks way different than yours. Why did mine install to this location and $

/usr/bin/i586-mingw32msvc-g++

(I installed it with 'apt-get install mingw32')

Also I don't recognize some of those filenames in your makefile. nk_sproto.c or nk_spbase.c. And I assume I should chan$

The files in my src directory:
Makefile
Makefile.am
Makefile.in
project4.cc
window1.cc
window1.hh
window1_glade.cc
window1_glade.hh

The Makefile.am and Makefile.in was created with that autogen.sh script.

Sorry,
my Makefile was only a vary simple example. I have used to build my application.
I don't use automake (i am not very into m4)
I haven't a working windows installation now but ...
try to define in the makefile:
SRCS = project4.cc window1.cc window1_glade.cc
MDEPS= window1.hh window1_glade.hh
MYCFLAGS= -g -I. $(shell pkg-config --cflags gtkmm-2.4 )
MYLDFLAGS=$(shell pkg-config --libs gtkmm-2.4)
mytest.exe: $(SRCS) $(MDEPS)
$(CC) $(MYCFLAGS) -mwindows -mms-bitfields $(SRCS) -o mytest $(MYLDFLAGS)

keep attention, the last line must have a tab as first character.
replace gtkmm-2.4 with the version you are using
the command pkg-config looks for files in the pkgconfig directory for compiler and linker options
Maybe you need also libglade and libglademm

Thanx for the help, but I cat't seem to get it working.

It seems that you use the windows version of mingw to compile the sources (I'm trying to compile it from within debian).

But it's ok, I'll grab the windows version today sometime and give it a go.

o, just read the part of the tab :-)

It starts to compile, and gives the following output. I think it is a minor problem, I'll probably be able to figger it out (I used your Makefile exactly, so I probibly just need to change something)

Thanx again!
