Announcement of Visual Studio 2015 projects to build GTKmm and GTK+

[codekiddy]

Hello there!

I'm happy to be able to announce release of Visual Studio 2015 projects and solutions to build GTK+, GTKmm, all it's dependencies as well as few other popular "hard to build" C/C++ libraries.

Entry repository is available for download on Github:
https://github.com/codekiddy2/Visual-Studio-gtkmm

There is also an updated wiki to help beginners build their GUI library:
https://github.com/codekiddy2/Visual-Studio-gtkmm/wiki

To better illustrate which libraries you can build with these projects
see image on below link:

Thank you for attention!

Jesus. Great job, man. I know from experience what a pain this must have been. Did you make LIB targets as well, or only DLL targets?

PS: If you want a wider audience, you might want to try posting this on Hacker News too.

Yeah, it was indeed a pain!

Most of the projects have configurations to build either DLL's or static libraries, in addition
you can choose whether to link against all dependencies or only required ones.

Also there is a plenty of test projects within solutions to perform tests against each DLL/LIB after successful compilation and recompile as needed possibly with different settings.

Although work is still in progress to automate the entry build process.

Yes, I'll definitely make a post on hacker news, thanks for suggestion!
