Updated Windows setup steps #112

Closed jasondelponte closed 9 years ago

jasondelponte commented 9 years ago

The steps for windows were missing gtk, and pkg-config configurations.

Adds GTK+ 2.24 all-in-one bundle for glib, and pkg-config dependencies
Updated environment variables to be more modular

Ran using Go 1.3.3 - 32 bit

The qml package does not depend on gtk. What's the dependency from?

Also, there are quite a few threads in the list about the process of getting Windows to work. Do you think those instructions are nailing it down? Would you mind to perhaps send a message to the list inviting people to try your instructions out before we recommend to everybody?

I would love to have more reliable instructions for Windows.

Thanks. I'll open a discussion on the list for these settings. I see now GTK is not a dependency, its just the original pkg-config depended on glib. There are a few good discussion on the list which talk about alternatives. These steps 'work' for 32bit go on win, but could be simplified by removing the gtk mention and state pkg-config instead. Hopefully a pkg-config without glib dependency..
