Thanks Dave but I don't think any of that applies with BaCon? BaCon 's translated code dynamically loads and links with all (dll's, so's). From the CygWin doc's it appears you need to run the x server first before you use gtk. Such is not the case with BaCon created code. I first wanted to see if code that ran on linux would run under cygwin and most does.
The problem I was having is in one the last post relating to native windows calls.
