D - linking DUI with GTK+ on windows

linking DUI with GTK+ 0n windows

I get,
Error 43: Not a Valid Library File

I went to the archives and
saw lots of problems with linking.

The idea I get from past discussions is that I
might have to recompile the GTK libs with DMC???
yikes!

Can't it even be done?
Is there another solution?
Can I compile with gcc and then link with OPTLINK?

Am I completly off the track?

(
seems that dui compiles and the libdui is created,
when I don't include the gtk lib OPTLINK reports lot's of
"
libdui.lib(Window)
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _gtk_********************
"
I'm assuming that means libdui.lib is a valid lib
)

ah... no luck seems those are proprietary tools. back to my original question... I got another idea from the readings: Can extract the modules (whatever they are called) from the libraries and rebuild the library? Ant

Try here: http://www.digitalmars.com/download/freecompiler.html (get Basic Utilities for implib) implib worked for me when I had a DLL and needed a LIB. BA

That did it! thanks. Tomorrow (night) I'll package every thing and publish it. Ant
