I compiled the GTKWave 3.1.6 for Win32, Windows and put it here gtkwave.exe.gz (now compressed with gzip)

Thanks to Tony GTKWave now supports reload.

The archive libs.tar.gz has all the DLLs which are needed. To install just unzip-untar it to a directory (say c:\gtkw).

You have to add c:\gtkw to your path.

I've been told that Internet Explorer (IE) unzips the file but doesn't change the extension to .exe from .exe.gz.

You may have to do this yourself.

Also unlike most Windows programs GTKWave doesn't have a File Open dialog for Waveform files (ie VCD) and

expects a waveform file name on the command line to work. You need to type "gtkwave mywaves.vcd" to get it to run.

 

GTKWave home page is here

You can get MingW from here

And finally the GTK for Windows port is here. I used the 2.12.6 version.

Currently I am not hosting the any sources here and assuming that interested

parties can obtain them from the links I provide above.

I use GTKWave and sometimes provide patches for it. I hope this is useful for others too.

Drop me a note at kal @ dspia period com if you have any questions/comments.
