715 :: gdk_pixbuf is wired...

  In case someone is using old current gdkpixbuf.nim on Windows (maybe Aporia does?)

  There are some chances the some functions may not work on windows.

  I just looked at gdk-pixbuf-2.31.2 headers, and there is some really wired stuff, which confused me

  #ifndef __GTK_DOC_IGNORE__
  #ifdef G_OS_WIN32
  /* DLL ABI stability hack. */
  #define gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_utf8
  #define gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_size gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_size_utf8
  #define gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_scale gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_scale_utf8
  #endif
  #endif
  
  GdkPixbuf *gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file (const char *filename,
                                     GError    **error);
  GdkPixbuf *gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_size (const char *filename,
                                             int         width,
                                             int         height,
                                             GError    **error);
  GdkPixbuf *gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_scale (const char *filename,
                                              int         width,
                                              int         height,
                                              gboolean    preserve_aspect_ratio,
                                              GError    **error);

  So when I am not totally wrong, on windows the library functions should have _uft8 extension when called, due to the define statement above. I think for current gdkpixbuf.nim they have not that extension. That header code differs from other glib stuff, which is not that strange. I can not test on windows currently...
