Re: Help on building GNU BG on Windows 10

[Turker Eflanli]

Jon,

I was able to get past many errors by copying gtk files over but now I am stuck at "gtk/gtkgl.h: No such file or directory"

Maybe I don't have the compatible gtk version (I have gtk+-bundle_2.22.1-20101227_win32 but the file mentioned is not there).

Can you please point me to a repository where I can download the latest GBU BG source code along with the necessary GTK+ libraries?

Thanks in advance, I appreciate your help.

The simplest solution is to copy the gtk files you downloaded into the corresponding mingw subfolders.

Hi,

I would like to build GNU BG on Windows 10. I realized I needed gtk+, downloaded gtk+-bundle_2.22.1-20101227_win32 and extracted all the files in a folder.   

I am still getting an error message and I believe I am not successfully setting the include path or an environment variable properly. 

Any help would be much appreciated!!
