hi, i try to build gtk2 (and it's requirements) for epel, but there is a big problem that many packages require automake-1.10 which is on fedora but not on rhel-5:-( so for the moment i give it up this part of the packages.
To be honest I don't really see the point in rebuilding this using EPEL. Since mingw is a cross-compile, whatever distro is used for the host OS should not materially impact the resulting binaries. So ignoring the lack of automake, if you build the same version of mingw-gtk2 on Fedora 8, Fedora 9, Fedora 10, EPEL-5 the resulting DLL should be the same.
Building stuff on EPEL only makes sense if you are going to build the actual version of GTK from EPEL-5 for mingw. Rebuilding the Fedora 9 version of GTK on EPEL-5 for mingw just seems like a waste of time.
