Forum: Ruby-Gnome 2 Issue installing gtk2 on windows

Hello,

Since the last version of gtk (gtk2 1.2.1 nd gtk3),
we have a lot of trouble for installing/running
gtk application under windows.

Here a exemple, forcing gtk installation whith version 1.1.9:

> gem install gtk2 -v 1.1.9
> gem install gtksourceview2 -v 1.1.3

C:\Ruby193\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems>ls -1
Installing RDoc documentation for gtksourceview2-1.1.3-x86-mingw32...

C:\Ruby193\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems>ls -1
Ruiby-0.54.0
ang-9.13.0
atk-1.2.1-x86-mingw32
cairo-1.12.3-x86-mingw32
gdk_pixbuf2-1.2.1-x86-mingw32
glib2-1.2.1-x86-mingw32
gosu-0.7.45-x86-mingw32
gtk2-1.1.9-x86-mingw32
gtksourceview2-1.1.3-x86-mingw32
pango-1.2.1-x86-mingw32
pkg-config-1.1.4
rake-0.9.2.2
rdoc-3.9.5


It-s seem that gtk2 old version is dependant on
new version of sub-library : glib2 1.2.1 ...

As gtk3 is no compatible with gtk2 api, and gtk2 1.2.1
seem unstable (many scrach), we do not know how to install
stable windows version of gtk2....
