Thanks for working on this.
Ok, so here are various further notes and questions:
1) Is it necessary to add pdflatex to the w32tex installation
(recommended TeX variant in the build guide) ? Currently the configure
step tells me that pdflatex is missing and therefore the documentation
cannot be built. (I have installed w32tex under MSYS following the guide.)
Hmm, IIRC pdflatex was present by default after installing w32tex. Are
you sure the w32tex/bin directory is in your PATH? (Section 3.1 of my
guide.)
2) In footnote 1 you mention that the Clearlooks theme Gtk DLL was
broken, is that still true? Or rather, how can I test that?
I haven't checked lately. You could try just using the mingw version
instead of the one I've made available, and see if it works. (BTW, I
don't think this will be relevant for GTK 3.)
Then finally I'd like to follow up on the plan to use GTK3 for
the
Windows build. For future reference, to me the paragraph under "Building
and distributing your application" on the page
https://www.gtk.org/download/windows.php sounds promising with respect
to themes and icons. But first the following:
a) I've installed with pacman the packages mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk3 and
mingw-w64-x86_64-gtksourceview3.
b) The configure step works fine, but with make I get this error:
In file included from C:/msys64/mingw64/include/gtk-3.0/gdk/gdkwin32.h:37,

_GtkWidget'} has no member named 'window'
393 | mainw = GDK_WINDOW_HWND(mdata->main->window);
AFAICS the gretl GUI code for Windows is not GTK3-compatible there, right?
Yep, that's right. It's now fixed in git, I think.
