MegaTunix/Win

Installing MegaTunix on a windows box

This is just the windows platform specific installation. After you have MegaTunix installed, read the usage (that is platform-independent) on MegaTunix page.



Possible Problems


Anything below is developer info - the above should be enough to get megatunix running on your win32.

MINGW porting

[why GTK is slower on windows] than on linux (or other nice OSes).


cross info

files needed:

cross-tools http://www.libsdl.org/extras/win32/cross/

freetype

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/freetype.htm

need to edit freetype2.pc files the prefix is wrong it need to be set to /target

libglade

http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=3

gtk,glib,pango,fontconfig,atk

http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html

gtkglext

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=54333&package_id=48997

need to edit gtkglext-*.pc and gdkglext-*.pc files the prefix is wrong it need to be set to /target

get the source amd make it

libxml2-2.6.15.tar.gz worked for me

libxml2-2.6.16.tar.gz would not make for me
