compiling gtk in windows

[Martin (OpenGeoMap)]

Hi:

I am really interested in gtk for windows but i see like like a problem 
the build system autotools nowadays for mingw. I would like could 
compile the last gtk version by myself.
I try compile much apps with autotools in windows but i see it very 
freak. Any interested in WAF build systems for GTK and GTKMM??.

any help in this arena?


Regards.

Are you trying to build GTK+ from svn, or from a tarball? In general
building from a tarball should be a bit easier, as you don't need to
run autogen.sh (i.e. aclocal, automake, autoconf) but just the
configure script.

What problems do you have *exactly*? (But please, no hundreds of lines
of build logs in mail, thanks. Either trim them down to the essential
errors messages, or use pastebin.)

WAF?

PS: as this is about compiling GTK+ itself, not GTK+-using
applications, please follow up to gtk-devel-list. You could also come
over and talk on #gtk on irc.gimp.org, or #win32 on the same server.
Ask your question and wait patiently.

"natural size" for widgets packed in a GtkScrolledWindow

[Brian J. Tarricone]

Hi all,

This may be related to the natural-size stuff I saw floating on 
gtk-devel-list a couple months ago, so maybe my answer is just "wait for 
the next major gtk release," but here goes...


Consider a dialog just with a scrolled window in it, and, inside the 
scrolled window, some widget that can hold arbitrary amounts of 
information, like a tree view, icon view, etc.


If I put a bunch of rows in the tree view (for example), and then show 
the dialog, I get this tiny dialog that shows only a single row in the 
tree view.  But I'd really rather it show, say 10 rows at a time.


Same issue with a GtkIconView, only it's worse -- if I set it up for 
"sideways" icons (icon on the left, text on the right), and pack a bunch 
of icons in there, the dialog shows itself with exactly one icon 
showing, and I need to scroll to see the rest.  Say I'd like to start 
off showing 3 columns and 4 rows, or whatever.


Is there any way to do this without writing a bunch of nasty hacky code? 
 It seems like these widgets are much less useful without some sort of 
intelligent autosizing.

Full Screen mode and odd menu behavior

[Garth's KidStuff]

Hey All,

When I put my application into full screen mode (by calling fullscreen), the
Linux System menu (Applications, Places, etc.) nicely goes away.  However,
doing some things in my app (e.g. bringing up a modal dialog) can cause the
system menu to appear unexpectedly.  Am I missing something on how this is
supposed to work?

Thanks in advance.

-Garth

How to restrict mouse pointer movement within a certain area using DirectFB?

[Dhananjoy Chutia]

Hi,
   I need to restrict mouse pointer within a certain area of the window
using DirectFB. I got one idea to use

void gdk_display_warp_pointer

(GdkDisplay 
*display,GdkScreen
 *screen,
gint x, gint y);

But, the function is not implemented for DirectFB,  in any of the gtk
distribution. I will be grateful enough for your suggestion regarding my
query


Regards

Dhananjoy.
