Hi, I already managed to compile Gtk# 2.12 on a cygwin build environment, but for some reason my compiled Gtk# dlls do not work(as for as I can remember I always got a segfault in Gtk+ when trying to create a new Gtk.Window in a demo app that occured when g_object_ref_sink was called). Becuase I need new features introduced in the 2.12 version(GInterface support for custom the models) my application is currently only running on Linux.
However I may be able to give you some hints on how I made it to compile the dlls: In my opinion the best way to compile Gtk# is with an installed Mono environment for windows(download the Mono installer with Gtk# 2.10). For an overview on how to compile the dlls use instructions here: http://www.mono-project.com/Compiling_Mono#Windows_Compilation But the tutorial is quite outdated and needs to be refreshed(maybe someone of the list has write access to the Mono documentation? And why cannot everyone contribute to the docu???) and I spent a whole weekend until I got the dlls compiled. I followed the Gtk# build instructions with the following changes: - I did NOT download anything of .net or the .NET SDK to the path and did not even need to download anything of MS .NET. If you want to use .net to build the binaries, you'd better forget it(csc compiler always complains about invalid characters in one of its parameters and you have the problem with Mono.Cairo(but you may be able to install cairo into the .net GAC) - Also I didn't include any of the Mono directories in the PATH. Instead I set up environment variables like GACUTIL="\"/cygdrive/c/program files/Mono-1.9/bin/mono.exe\" \"C:\Programme\Mono-1.9\lib\mono\1.0\gacutil.exe\"" to make sure these utils are running under mono(and not under .net which will lead to errors). DO NOT ADD the bin directory in the mono root directory to the path as the configure script will then use the old Gtk# 2.10 installation in the bin path - download the Gtk+ 2.12 bundle from www.gtk.org instead of using the download links to old versions in the tutorial If someone could help me with the Gtk+ g_object_ref_sink error I would also volunteer to create working Gtk# 2.12 assemblies; I really do not have any idea where I made an error or where this g_object error came from so I gave up on it. But another thing is much more important: to update this tutorial at the mono website. If someone with write access to the Mono docu would update it(I can write a new version myself) it would be a big step forward.
