====================================
How to build GuiLoader with MSVC 8.0
====================================


1. GuiLoader has this prerequisite to be installed:

- GTK+ for Win32: http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net


2. Boost.Build setup

Boost.Build is included in Boost distribution; GuiLoader compilation also requires Boost-jam. Download location: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586

Two environment variables should be updated:
- PATH to include directory with bjam.exe 
- BOOST_BUILD_PATH to point to boost_x_y_z\tools\build\v2 directory in the Boost source tree

In order to tell Boost.Build to find and use MSVC compiler, this line should be appended to boost_x_y_z\tools\build\v2\user-config.jam file:

############
using msvc ;
############


3. GuiLoader compilation requires GTK+ library to be configured in boost_x_y_z\tools\build\v2\site-config.jam file. Sample site-config.jam content may be found in README.msvc file in Crow distribution package.


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

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