Building libgsf on Windows

What You Need:

•

MinGW/MSYS (See Setting Up a Build Environment

•

glib (I used 2.14.4 from GNOME)

•

iconv (I used 1.9.1 from GNOME)

•

gettext (I used 0.14.5 from GNOME)

•

libxml2 (I used 2.6.30 from RP)

•

zlib (I used 1.2.3 from GnuWin32)

Building It

•

Untar the tarball (I used 1.14.7)

•

In MSYS: PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/mingw/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --without-python --prefix=/mingw

•

make && make DESTDIR=/c/binaries/libgsf-1.14.7 install

•

My notes say something about "Change the dependencies line in the .la files of the destination from the faulty path to libiconv to -liconv" for 1.14.1, but we'll see if that is necessary in a nice clean build environment.
