Updates.

2001-10-29  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

	* README.win32: Updates.

	* gtk-zip.sh.in: New file, used to build distribution package for
	Windows.

	* gdk/gdkglobals.c: Mark gdk_threads_mutex for DLL export when
	applicable with GDKVAR.

	* gtk/gtk.def: Update.

	* gtk/gtkfilesel.c: Include <winsock.h> (if available) for
	gethostname().

	* gtk/gtkmain.c
	* gtk/gtkrc.c: (Win32) Save actual DLL name for later use in DLL
	entry function. Avoid hardcoded paths GTK_LIBDIR, GTK_SYSCONFDIR,
	GTK_DATA_PREFIX and GTK_LOCALEDIR, instead add functions that call
	g_win32_get_package_installation_subdirectory() with the actual
	DLL name saved above. Redefine above directory name macros to call
	these functions. Remove some ifdefs.

	* gtk/maketypes.awk: Output GTKTYPEBUILTINS_VAR (that marks
	variable for export on Win32) also to the _vars file.

	Changes for autoconfiscated build on Win32, and addition of Win32
	backend to the related files:

	* configure.in: Like in GLib, set LT_CURRENT_MINUS_AGE for use
	when forming DLL name in some files. Set MS_LIB_AVAILABLE is
	lib.exe is available. Call AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL. Set
	PLATFORM_WIN32, OS_WIN32 and USE_WIN32 automake conditionals. Add
	win32 target, using pangowin32. Don't use the
	-export-symbols-regex option on Win32, we use .def files to list
	exported symbols. Check <winsock.h> (for gethostname() in
	gtkfilesel.c). Enclose nested AC_CHECK_* macros in brackets to
	prevent premature m4 expansion.

	* acconfig.h: Add HAVE_WINTAB.

	* gdk/Makefile.am: Add libgdk-win32-1.3.la target and associated
	macros and rules. Use -no-undefined on Win32. Use gdk.def file. If
	MS_LIB_AVAILABLE, build MS import library. Install the import
	libraries. If HAVE_WINTAB, link with the Wintab library.

	* gtk/Makefile.am: Add libgtk-win32-1.3.la target and associated
	macros and rules. Use -no-undefined on Win32. Use gtk-win32.def
	file. Install import libraries.

-To build GTk+ on Win32, you need either gcc-2.95 or later, or the
-Microsoft compiler and tools. The mingw setup of gcc is preferred, but
-you can run gcc also under cygwin-b20.1 or later. Compile in
-gdk\win32, gdk and gtk with `make -f makefile.mingw` (gcc) or `nmake
--f makefile.msc` (MSVC). The name makefile.mingw needs an explanation:
-It refers to the target, not the build environment. As build
-envíronment, only cygwin is tested. GNU Make is definitely needed.
+There are two ways to build GTK+ for win32:
 
-See the README.win32 file in the GLib distribution for instructions
-how to build with gcc.
+1) Use the autoconf-generated configure script, and the resulting
+Makefiles (which use libtool and gcc to do the compilation). I use
+this myself, but it might be hell to setup correctly. 
 
-To use GTk+ on Win32, you also need either one of the above mentioned
-compilers. Other compilers might work, but don't count on it. The
-same instructions on how to set up a correct version of gcc should
-also be followed if you want to build applications that use GTk+ with
-gcc.
+2) Use the Microsoft compiler, cl and Make, nmake. Say nmake -f
+makefile.msc in gdk and gtk.
+
+Alternative 1 also generates Microsoft import libraries (.lib), if you
+have lib.exe available. It should also work for cross-compilation from
+Unix.
+
+There are hand-written makefiles for mingw (look for makefile.mingw in
+various directories), but those haven't been kept up-to-date, and
+probably won't work without editing. Sorry. If you make them work
+again, by all means do submit patches.
+
+Note that I use mainly gcc myself, and thus the build setup for
+Microsoft's nmake and cl might be a bit rusty. Hans Breuer has been
+taking care of those makefiles. At times, we disagree a bit, and the
+msc makefiles might not produce compatible or identically named DLLs
+and import libraries as the autoconfiscated makefiles and libtool do.
