[pygtk] Need help with pygtk and gtk...under Windows XP

[Dieter Verfaillie]

Hi,

If you simply want to use PyGTK as soon as possible, you
might be interested in the All-in-one installer:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pygtk/2.22/
All you need to do is to install
"pygtk-all-in-one-2.22.6.win32-py2.7.msi" after you've
installed Python 2.7. That's it :)

There's also a "pygtk-all-in-one.README" file that explains
some common pitfalls and also the more advanced usage of
the installer.

If, on the other hand, you want to manage your own GTK+
environment combined with the separate pycairo/pygobject/pygtk
installers, read below...

Make sure it comes before all other directories that might
contain (part of) a GTK+ environment on your PATH. Be aware
this might just as well break other software that requires
their own GTK+ version to be the first picked up from PATH.
(that's why the all-in-one installer does not need you to
configure the PATH environment variable, it is taken care
off at runtime...)

Not really interesting unless you want to compile a C program
that uses GTK+. Try pkg-config --list-all to get a list of
installed "packages".

You can trace missing dependencies like this with depends.exe
(http://www.dependencywalker.com/). It will tell you what .dll files
you're missing (but it's still up to you to find out what package
provides those .dll files).
