[Pan-users] compiling on windows

[K. Haley]

There have been several messages lately asking about building pan on 
windows.  I would've sent this sooner but I've been busy working on 
GNET.  Here is my version of compiling. ( putting everything in seprate 
directories should also work)

1.  GTK+ & GTK+ devlopment libraries from 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk-win/ .  I installed them into their 
default directories - "Program Files" & "Dev-C++" respectively.

2. Gnome Common from 
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/Public/GNOME/sources/gnome-common/2.4/ .  While this 
is only needed for compiling from CVS, at some point you'll probably 
want to so go ahead and install it.  --prefix=/c/Dev-C++

3. LIBXML2 - more recent versions of GTK+ than the one I currently use 
come with it.  Try pkgconfig --cflags libxml-2.0 , if it works then move 
on.  The last version I compiled was 2.6.9.  There is a typo in xpath.c 
line 10927, just add a ) before the ;.  Once fixed just configure 
--prefix=/c/Dev-C++ , make, make install.  NOTE:  make tests will fails 
due to line endings.

4. GNET - the curent released version is 2.0.5 which does not compile 
OOB.  I recomend using CVS at this point as configure works as well as 
some windows bug fixes.

5. INTLTOOL - I don't recall having any problems installing this.

Because I put everything in the same directory as GTK+dev I didn't need 
to change PKG_CONFIG_PATH.  Now you should be able to compile pan.  As 
for AM_ICONV, the only solution I can think of is to use glib's iconv 
wrappers.
