The Win32 GTKWave Homepage

GTKWave is a VCD/EVCD wave viewer written by Anthony J Bybell . For more details about GTKWave, please visit the GTKWave home page .
In this page I will try to maintain up to date Win32 versions of GTKWave. Other than some simple changes done a long time ago, GTKWave compiles under Win32 flawlessly (albeit with many warnings) using the Win32 port of the GTK+ and GLIB library.

Win32 specific notes

The program doesn't use .gtkwaverc for controlling the program settings. Instead, it uses gtkwave.ini, which is more windows-friendly, especially on FAT based partitions.
Also, please note I'm not actively working on this port!
I've been working recently on other projects, and I'm NOT using GTKWave on a day-to-day basis. If you (yes, I'm talking to YOU!) won't complain about bugs or other problems, they won't get fixed!
My current involvement with this project at the moment is not much more than compiling a new version when it's out, and updating this web page!
I've just fixed a major bug that lurked in the program from it's first Win32 version until now, just because no-one mailed me about it.

Downloading Win32 GTKWave

The current Win32-GTKWave version is 1.3.19.
This is a link to the binary file: GTKWave-win32-1.3.19.zip
You also need the following ZIP files, containing the some DLL's required by Win32 GTKWave: DLL-19990828.zip and zlib114.zip (zlib is required only for GTKwave version the 1.3.19 and up).

The ZLIB DLL I use was taken from: http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/zlib114dll.zip

The GTK+ project, for creating this GUI library in the first place!

What's new?

21-Jun-2002

Updated Win32 GTKWave to version 1.3.19. I also removed the build instructions since the required DLL's are outdated and no longer available on the web. Instead of providing them here, I plan to migrate to newer library versions sometime in the future. In the meantime, only Win32 executables are available here.

10-Oct-2001

Updated Win32 GTKWave to version 1.2.99.

10-May-2001

Wow! It's been a year since the last version.

Updated Win32 GTKWave to version 1.2.97. Not much checking though.

5-May-2000

Updated Win32 GTKWave to version 1.2.91.

5-May-2000

Updated Win32 GTKWave to version 1.2.89.

25-Apr-2000

Updated Win32 GTKWave to version 1.2.87.

12-Apr-2000

Updated Win32 GTKWave to version 1.2.83.

24-Mar-2000

Fixed Win32 specific bugs in 1.2.77, calling it 1.2.77a. (The gtkwave.ini file would not parse unless it was a unix text file with LF as line terminators).

10-Mar-2000

Updated Win32 GTKWave to version 1.2.77.

9-Feb-2000

Updated Win32 GTKWave to version 1.2.72.

30-Jan-2000

Updated Win32 GTKWave to version 1.2.71.

28-Jan-2000

Updated Win32 GTKWave to version 1.2.70. Time from clicking on the download button on Tony's webpage until the new version was uploaded on my page was less than 10 minutes, including the updates to this page ;-)
Updated the Visual C++ 6.0 project and workspace files to winwave-20000128.zip..

27-Jan-2000

Updated Win32 GTKWave to version 1.2.68. Note: This version will *NOT* compile cleanly under Win32 without some minor changes. These changes would be integrated into the main GTKwave source code in the future versions.

24-Jan-2000

The usual drill ... Updated Win32 GTKWave to version 1.2.66.

17-Jan-2000

Updated Win32 GTKWave to version 1.2.63. Versions 1.2.59-1.2.62 had some compatibility problems with the Win32 versions of GTK+.
I'm still looking at moving the development environment from Visual C++ 6.0 to Cygwin B20 or mingw32, but each of these has it's drawbacks, so at the moment it's still VC++.

24-Dec-1999

Updated Win32 GTKWave to version 1.2.57.

18-Dec-1999

Updated Win32 GTKWave to version 1.2.55.

10-Dec-1999

Updated Win32 GTKWave to version 1.2.50.
Updated the Visual C++ 6.0 project and workspace files to winwave-19991210.zip..

21-Nov-1999

Updated Win32 GTKWave to version 1.2.42.
The MIF code is now mostly fixed. However, due to small differences between the Unix and Windows versions of FrameMaker, you will have to replace all occurences of "Courier" with "Courier New" in the MIF output file generated by the program if you read the files under Windows. I hope to fix this soon.

18-Nov-1999

Updated Win32 GTKWave to version 1.2.40.
The new MIF code in this version has taken me some time, which is why there wasn't any new version here during the last month. It's still partly broken, but at least it may give you a glimpse of things to come.
I've tried to get versions 1.2.35 and up compile under using GCC/Cygwin library to get the "Open New Viewer" feature to work under Win32, but I didn't have much success, so at the moment this feature is not available in the Win32 port.

18-Oct-1999

Updated Win32 GTKWave to version 1.2.34.
There seemed to be a few problems accessing this page. Hope everything works now!

9-Oct-1999

Updated Win32 GTKWave to version 1.2.32.
Fixed broken link to the DLL ZIP file.
Added a Visual C++ project file so recompiling the project is even easier.

8-Oct-1999

Page created!.
Win32 GTKWave 1.2.31 is now online!.

Known bugs

No known Win32 specific bugs!.
