Ok, Using msys I was able to get glade 3.20 running. Maybe that will fix everything.

Great, unfortunately "Use msys2" seems to be the official way to install anything GTK related on windows.

... Also, I cannot seem to load a jpg using an imageview

(test.exe:1628): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not load image 'a.jpg': Couldn't recognize the image file format for file 'a.jpg'

Just a normal jpg. Tried a bmp, same thing. It shows fine in glade itself.


It looks like the pixbuf loaders are missing from the installer.

I tried to use the mingw version of gtk with no luck. It first looks in C:\MinGW even though I have MinGW installed somewhere else. Using a junction doesn't help becomes then it when it finds the dll it has missing symbols

"The Procedure Entry Point gdk_pixbuf_gettext could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\MinGW\lib\gdk-pix-buf-2.0\2.10.0\loaders\libpixbufloader-gdip-jpeg.dll".

I actually just copied over the loaders rather than using the full gtk mingw install because when I do that it complains about some lib??svg missing. I guess one can't mix mingw installs with non-mingw... but the gtk mingw install is incomplete too ;/

I hope this isn't going to be an on going thing... seems I've wasted quite a bit of time to try and get gdk to work. I probably could have written my own gui by now.
