Thanks for feedback! You tested on windows - which version?

I can always get your gtk+ examples to compile but almost never without having to change some part of the example. Things that 'just work' on Linux sometimes don't 'just work' on Windows. Don't know why not (your code takes into account platform differences).
I guess it's just the way things are (as long as I can get programs to compile I don't mind a little bit of editing here-and-there).
Get it running anyway is important. Then we can learn.
I also had trouble with this example: I tested on LINUX and published the code. Then I tested on win XP SP2 and had lots of trouble. While libgthread was loading on LINUX I had to add #INCLIB "gthread" for win32 in to the glib.bi file. I also had to fix a bug in the original gthread.h headers: g_thread_create() is declared as a function there. But it should be a macro wrapper for g_thread_create_full().
AGS wrote:Apparently g_thread_init and g_thread_create are deprecated. g_thread_init and g_thread_create were not in the gtk binaries (at least not in version 2.24).
Since GLib-2.32 g_thread_create() is replaced by g_thread_new(). And g_thread_init() is only needed if you have more than one thread, so in this example it should be called. But the deprecated function should still work. And GTK+-2.24 should go with GLib-2.30, so both functions should be available anyway. Did you use the latest header update (2012-05-24)?

Yes, it's declared in libintl.bi and it's for I18N. It's a shortcut:
There's a libintl.bi version from sir_mud that doesn't include this abbreviation (and has another downside - cant remember which ATM, maybe interaction with locale.bi ?!?).
Here's the code I use (.../freebasic/inc/libintl.bi):

When you get my original code running you can add in to your project folder a file .../project/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/wwt.mo with the translations (created by PoEdit or a similar tool) and you'll have an english version of the example. Or replace the 'en' subfolder by 'nl' for a dutch version (and addapt the .mo file).
