How to build GuiLoader/C++ with MSVC 8.0
========================================

Next steps assume that instructions in README.msvc in GuiLoader package are already followed.


1. GuiLoader/C++ adds additional prerequisite to be installed:

- gtkmm wrapper for Win32: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gtkmm/


2. GuiLoader/C++ compilation requires several libraries to be configured in boost_x_y_z\tools\build\v2\site-config.jam file. They are:

gtk+          - GTK+ toolkit
guiloader     - alias for GuiLoader library project
gtk+-c++      - gtkmm wrapper

Sample site-config.jam content may be found in README.msvc file in Crow distribution package.


3. Release version of GuiLoader/C++ library and examples could be built now with "bjam" command executed in a command prompt window from the toplevel distribution directory 'guiloader-c++-x.y.z'.

PATH environment variable needs to be updated to point to guiloader-c++.dll directory before examples can run. Alternatively guiloader-c++.dll may be copied to the directory containing an example binary or to the system directory.

If a debug version of guiloader-c++.dll is needed (e.g. for debugging an application from within an IDE), gtk+-c++ alias in site-config.jam must be updated to include debug gtkmm libraries; then "bjam debug" command will be able to build debug versions of guiloader-c++.dll and examples.
