[Gtk-sharp-list] Gtk# 2.12 for Windows

[Miguel de Icaza]

Hello Christian,

    First of all, thank you a lot for posting this update about Gtk# on
Windows, this is a very painful issue for me, as for some reason we have
been absolutely unable to provide a Gtk# 2.12 natively for .NET.

    So far, the great guys at Medsphere have been doing the work in
supporting Gtk# for .NET, while we supported it for Mono on Windows, but
while we support 2.12, they only were up to 2.10, so your post is very
timely.

    Would you mind telling me what is wrong on the Wiki, or perhaps
would you mind making the changes to the Wiki yourself to have the
information up-to-date for Windows people?

    I can, and would love to do it.
