The primary feature I am after is the text_buffer/text_view feature.

Ok. I have no problems using the standard approach that the Gimp/Gtk for
windows wants. I just wanted to make sure that you were not re-building
those dlls in some different way. Of course the
interesting thing that pops to mind (that should have popped to mind back
when I tried the first
GtkAda win32 port) is that we use pragma convention (C, XXX) in many places
in the code. Windows Gtk uses a flag -fnative-structs (I think) which
potentially changes the layout of the structs
that gcc would use without that flag.. I wonder if there is a disconnect
here or if we have gotten lucky on the few uses of this pragma.


In any case I do still have my more basic original question of are you using
the ./configure approach for the current win32 GtkAda part of the port and
if so are  you using cygwin or something else?
