hi Mihai Nice to see some new interest in fixing MyPaint on Windows! Here are some pointers.
The main bugreport: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653437 Setting up a GTK build environment usually takes around two days. You will want to work on the git version of GTK (gtk-2-24 branch). The IRC discussion I had with BenJackson might be helpful if you want to compile GTK using jhbuild (look around 08:06): http://irclogs.jackgrigg.com/irc.freenode.net/mypaint/2011-08-13 It is probably possible to build GTK on Windows natively, but I haven't tried myself because I am more familiar with the Linux toolchain. If you need support for building GTK, try to ask on MyPaint IRC or on the GTK channel of the Gnome IRC network. People might be busy though, so it can take time to get a response.
