Danke!
I was fooled by the euphoriagtk home page which currently states:
""" New with version 4.9.0: I have tested this with Windows 7 and the 64-bit version of the Gtk libraries for
Windows. Sorry, I do not have a 32-bit Windows installation to test. It works well, with only a few relatively
minor glitches, related to use of theme icons and locale. Euphoria programs running on Windows have the
Windows native look and feel (translucent titlebars, etc). """
Or, for a message view, see andi49's post at http://openeuphoria.org/forum/m/128484.wc
In short, it looks like EuGTK needs to have some plus signs added to switch over to cdecl calls (instead of stdcall).
Success!
I added two lines to the GtkEngine.e, and now I get demos to work. That is with a virtual Windows XP as a window on Linux.
Irv, try this fix please.
My conclusion (for a non Windows user) is that with a "gtk bundle" it is simple to add the needed files for Windows. Gtk can now be considered to be a cross-platform GUI for Euphoria.
