The official XChat for Windows +is not built with this unix source code. + + +Getting GTK +~~~~~~~~~~~ + +You also need GTK+ 2.10 for win32. Altough the GTK packages from the GIMP +website are larger and harder to install they work very well. + + 1) Get the following packages from: + http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html + + - gtk+-2.4.3.tar.gz + - gtk+-dev-2.4.3.tar.gz + - dirent.zip + - gettext-runtime-0.13.1.zip + - gettext-tools-0.13.1.zip + - atk-1.6.0.zip + - atk-dev-1.6.0.zip + - pango-1.4.0.zip + - pango-dev-1.4.0.zip + - libpng (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libpng.htm) Binaries & Developer files. + - GNU libiconv (Not source files) + - glib-2.4.2.zip + - glib-dev-2.4.2.zip + - pkgconfig-0.15.zip + - Zlib121-dll.zip + + 2) Extract all files to a suitable place such as c:\devtools + + 3) Windows 2000, XP & 2003 users: + - Start->(Settings->)Control Panel->System Applet + - Advanced Tab->Environment Variables + - Under "User variables for <user>" append ";C:\devtools" to the end of the PATH Variable + - Click Ok twice and close the Control Panel + + For Windows 9x users your basicly on your own for now. + + +Mingw +~~~~~ + + I havn't tried this yet, but ./configure --disable-xlib would be a start. + + +MS Visual C +~~~~~~~~~~~ + + + 1) Edit src\makeinc.msc + + You need to change the variables GLIB, GTK and LIBS to point + the correct paths for your harddrive.
