Be careful with Xchat, some versions link to modified static GTK+, and a few of them install GTK+ to it's own directory. Problem here is, that there's no standarised installer for GTK+ - Tor only provides zipfiles, and it's up to the developers how they use these ZIPs. Hopefully this will change when porting of Evolution to Windows will be completed. >> It's a very bad idea to have the installer need to go back on to the net to >> download something else. >> >> The user should get the whole thing at once. Many installers for Windows GTK+ programs do this, and nobody has a problem with it. You could also make a ZIP file that includes both installers, and if the user tries to install Qemu without the GTK+ libraries, the GTK+ installer could be automatically invoked in silent mode (this is what I plan for the Gimp). > I think the idea of using C:\Programing Files\Common Files\GTK 2.0 is a good > solution for that. It's Common Files\GTK\2.0 actually, since GTK+ 1.3 can also be installed there. -- < Jernej Simoncic ><><><><>< http://deepthought.ena.si/ > Whenever you cut your fingernails, you will find a need for them an hour later. -- Witten's Law _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
