The page to which we are directed specifically states
This page is not intended directly for end-users. It is expected that people who build installers for GTK+ applications for Windows bundle GTK+ with them.
Not saying that having a version of euGTK pre-bundled wouldn't make life any easier, mind you. The likely reason for this is that Irv doesn't develop on Windoze, and thus can't test such a bundle. * So someone else would have to step up to fill the gap. *
And that someone should be the Euphoria Developers. This is especially true if Ed Eberlein's marvelous EuGTK editor is intended to be incorporated as a part of the official OpenEuphoria distribution package. I realize that the development team is spread thin, but the bottom line is that the lack of an efficient, easy to use GUI has strangled Euphoria's adoption. Irv Mullins EuGTK and the WEE EuGTK editor are magnificent and much-needed tools for the Euphoria language which should be fully exploited. Since the vast majority of Euphoria user's develop on Windows, it would be wise for the developers to facilitate the implementation of EuGTK as much as possible. REDY isn't ready. WxEuphoria has failed to stimulate much interest, is more difficult to use than EuGTK, and I suspect it is as difficult, if not more difficult, to support WxEuphoria than EuGTK.
Right now EuGTK is Euphoria's only GUI Quarterback capable of scoring. If we don't get the ball to the Quarterback, game over.
