+For people compiling GTK+ with Visual C++ 2005 or later, it is

+recommended that the same compiler is used for at least GDK-Pixbuf,

+Pango, atk and glib so that crashes and errors caused by different CRTs

+can be avoided.  The VS 2008 project files and/or VS Makefiles are

+either already available or will be available in the next stable release.

+Unfortunately compiling with Microsoft's compilers versions 2003 or earlier

+is not supported as compiling the latest stable GLib (which *is* required for

+building this GTK+ release) requires features from newer compilers

+and/or Platform SDKs

 

 After installing the dependencies, there are two ways to build GTK+

 for win32.

+There are also VS 2008 solution and project files to build GTK+, which

 Alternative 1 also generates Microsoft import libraries (.lib), if you

 have lib.exe available. It might also work for cross-compilation from

 Unix.
