GSpeakers on Windows
--------------------

The best thing you can do if you want to run GSpeakers on Windows is 
to download the binary package. 

* Download and install the gtk+ runtime environment 
  (http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/)

* Download and unzip the GSpeakers zip file, double click on gspeakers.exe 
  to start GSpeakers
  

Build GSpeakers
---------------

If you want to build GSpeakers things get a little bit more complicated. First 
you need a compiler and some kind of GNU system. I use Mingw and Msys and some 
additional tools from the gnuwin32 project. Here are some step by step 
instructions that you can use. However, be prepared to do some tweaking on 
your own, setting up the build envorinment might be quite tricky. Also, I 
have not got the cygwin environment to work so I just use msys instead. 

If you use msys you may have to get some additional packages from 
the gnuwin project (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/). Also you have to 
add the pkg-config definition file for libxml2 since that file has been 
missing in the win32 binary distribution. This file is attached at the bottom 
of this file.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR GTK+ AND GTKMM USING CYGWIN AND MINGW.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Download and install the latest mingw (I used MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe). Install 
   to default folder, c:\mingw.

2. Download and install the latest cygwin. You probably want to add the following 
   to the default cygwin setup:

	Admin->cygrunsrv (so that you can run sshd)
	Archive->zip
	Archive->unzip
	Devel->autoconf
	Devel->automake
	Devel->cvs
	Devel->libtool
	Devel->make
	Editors->nano
	Graphics->libpng2
	Net->Openssh
	Net->setup
	Web->wget
	
   At least autoconf, automake, make and libtool is required to setup a standard 
   gtkmm build system.

3. Cygwins path needs to be modified, because we want to use mingws gcc.
   Edit /etc/profile to add /cygdrive/c/mingw/bin in front of the current PATH.

4. Download and install the GTK+2 development environment[0]. Install into
   c:\cygwin.

5. Download and install the GTK+2 runtime environment[0]. Install to standard
   location.

6. Download and install the gtkmm development environment[1]. Install to
   c:\cygwin. Answer yes to add it to the path.

7. You can now test whether GTK works by typing:
       pkg-config.exe gtk+-2.0 --modversion
   You can test gtkmm by a similar command:
       pkg-config.exe gtkmm-2.0 --modversion

   If they return something sane, you should be on your way.

8. "Hello World" can be compiled like this:
   GTK+:
       gcc foo.c `pkg-config.exe gtk+-2.0 --libs --cflags` -mno-cygwin -mms-bitfields 
   gtkmm:
       g++ foo.cpp `pkg-config.exe gtkmm-2.0 --libs --cflags` -mno-cygwin -mms-bitfields 
    
   The standard gtkmm examples is in /demo or /examples.

Now you should be able to compile and run the examples. Also you will find the gtkmm 
standard demo in the start menu. Now it is time for the more tricky parts. We need to 
have GNU Gettext and libxml2 working. Get them from the gnuwin32 project.

9. In order to compile a regular gtkmm application with autoconf, automake,
   libtool and gettext,  the following needs to be installed as well:

  - autoconf from cygwin setup
  - automake from cygwin setup
  - make from cygwin setup
  - libtool from cygwin setup
  - libiconv from www.mingw.org (install to standard location)
  - gettext from www.mingw.org (install to standard location)
