... Just to answer to the just-added-to-the-thread :) Yes, I have. And I am still trying. On the serious hand, now, there are several issues regarding GTK+/cygwin: 1. unlike tcl/tk, there was never a gtk+ port on cygwin 2. like the tcl/tk there are versions more closely to be "portable" than others 3. like the tcl/tk case, both gtk+ and cygwin are evolving independently, so any building assumptions in a particular moment are not sync'd. 4. the most despairing thing is the version 2.0 of gtk+: while 1.2.x series were not ported on cygwin, and they required just glib and gtk+ tarballs, the 2.0.x series come with 4 tarballs, and have iconv and pkg-config as dependencies. Ugly! 5. the man who is the most involved in gtk+ porting to win32, tml, >/dev/null 's any cygwin related question. And he's right.
