Hi, maybe your previous thread was one that I initiated. The reply was
nogo or use a docker. I'm wondering if you managed to generate a
Win.exe that ran without loading any extras on all versions of windows?
I'm sure what I was doing would work only with the exact compile version
even on the same distro version. Regards Ian.

<[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>>:
Hello all,
I'm trying to cross-compile GTK+ for Windows on Linux (Debian)
using MXE (http:/mxe.cc/ <http://mxe.cc/>). My goal is to produce
a statically linked executable that just runs without having to
install anything else (libraries, themes, etc.). I saw that in a
previous thread someone said that GTK+ can't be statically linked,
but that isn't true, it actually works fine (at least on Windows).
There is only one thing that doesn't work: the icons that are part
of the standard interface (for example, the "+" and "-" that
appear on the buttons of a GtkSpinButton) aren't displayed. When I
run it, the program prints a warning saying that it can't find the
"hicolor" theme, and all icons are replaced by a "missing icon"
symbol.
I suppose that if I installed the theme on the target system, it
would work (although I'm not sure in which directories GTK+ looks
for it). But as I wrote above, I want the icons to be embedded in
the executable, so that one can just download the file and run it.
That is definitely possible with GTK+ 2, I compiled several
programs and they all work without issues. But I haven't been able
to make it work with GTK+ 3, so I'm asking for your help.
The problem is demonstrated by the attached screenshots:
- a window containing a GtkSpinButton (spinbutton-gtk3.png)
- a window containing a GtkToolbar with two buttons (toolbar-gtk3.png)
- the latter program rewritten for GTK+ 2 (toolbar-gtk2.png). As
you can see, here the icons are displayed correctly.
I'm also attaching the source code of those examples.
I've tried to dig into the GTK+ sources to find where the icons
are generated, but got lost. I found that there's a program called
gtk-update-icon-cache that I guess might have to do with that, but
I didn't understand how it's supposed to be used and where it's
called during the build process (if it's called at all).
To reproduce what I did, go to http:/mxe.cc/ <http://mxe.cc/> and
follow the instructions. The GTK+ 3 library is configured with the
following options (specified in the src/gtk3.mk <http://gtk3.mk>
file in the MXE source tree):
--disable-glibtest --disable-cups --disable-test-print-backend
--disable-gtk-doc --disable-man --with-included-immodules
--enable-win32-backend
MXE also applies a few patches to the GTK+ sources (file
src/gtk3-1-fixes.patch).
Thank you in advance for any help that you can provide.
Gerardo
