developing Cross-Platform?

Hi,

Is there any way I can use Gtk+ to develop for the Win32 api?

No, or at least I would be incredibly surprised if so.

You might be able to do some kind of X gui stuff in cygwin tools though - it could be possible in some way, but I doubt using Gtk+.

Quake was developed on Linux, so you might want to do research on that to see what they did.

I found that there is a win32 port of gtk+, so I guess you have to use the dll's provided by the port and the development package.

That is good to know. I suppose I should not have been so surprised, but I still am.

Good luck with everything!

Gimp - the graphics program that spawn the GTK library works in Windows (a great photoshop alternative btw). So definitely you will be able to port a GTK/Linux app with a lot of work I'm sure. I'd first write it for Linux, and then start looking at how to port it rather than writing them concurrently.

On a side note, I know Q3:Arena doesn't use any DLLs, if that helps you at all.
