[Gtk-sharp-list] 2 questions from a windows user

[Paulo Pires]

Hi

Afaik GTK# is GTK bindings for C#, and once GTK runs on Windows, GTK# is
intended to work on Windows too, so I guess that it's a crossplatform
toolkit ;) .

Now about Gnome# and Gecko#, these ones are not in the GTK# namespace.
Gecko is the Mozilla HTML rendering engine, so I guess that you may need
Mozilla to get it to work, but I'm not sure.

I'm trying to get Gnome.Canvas, which is a GTK widget that depends on
the Gnome namespace, art-sharp (libart) and libgnomecanvas2 (this is my
problem), but I'm unable to get it to work. My hacking-code skills are
really low, so I'm trying to convince Paco, once he's back from FLOSS,
to get this working on Windows.
