I have recompiled my application for Windows and it starts up nicely.
We'll have to test it more to say whether there's a problem or not.

I have another question, though. Which files should be added into
the NSIS installer to make the GTK2 app display national texts in widgets?
E.g the stock buttons display the English texts, Apply, Cancel, etc.
instead of the ones in my language. I have added the whole share/locale/hu
directory and even all bin/* and share/gettext/* from mingw32-gettext.
This is not a regression from the old version. The application's main.c
contains:

  bindtextdomain (GETTEXT_PACKAGE, PACKAGE_LOCALE_DIR);

$ grep PACKAGE_LOCALE *
make.log: ... -DPACKAGE_LOCALE_DIR=\""/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/share/locale"\" ...

Does "bindtextdomain()" have something to detect (and fix) the PATH of the
programs under Windows? Or should I do it manually?

Thanks,
Zoltán Böszörményi
