Hi, As we look further into making GLib (and most probably the GTK+/Clutter stack) work better on Windows, here are some of my further thoughts about it: As neither of the MSVC-based build approaches (the Visual Studio Projects nor Han's NMake Makefiles) support building the unit tests, I a

When I read this again I realized my previous mail had a bad tone...what I really wanted to say is: I think InstalledTests is a natural evolution of "make check" that is far more powerful and flexible, and I'd really love to see Debian and other projects making use of it. Specifically in helping

Hello, I think the above list is a good start. But it is not good enough. We also need to specify which versions of the above OSes, and which versions of the compilers (especially important for e.g. msvc). For MSVC I agree. For the others, I don't think it's that big of a problem (although it

hi, GLib aims to work on a wide range of operating systems, but we have no good story for ensuring that this is the case. Mostly we do things for Linux and, if they are the sort of thing that may cause problems, we also check that they work on Windows. We read manpages and make sure that the fun
