I have not had much luck building the gimp (Gnu image processing) with Cygwin. I tried building it from the official gimp tarball, and the configure script complained that I had an old version of gtk. So I tried to build gtk from a recent tarball. While compiling, I got a complaint that some symbols could not be exported.
Before I post the specifics of the "export" problem (tedious to read) I'd like to know if I'm even on the right track, generally. What is the best strategy for building gimp? I have stayed away from mingw until now, should I use it for compiling gimp? What versions of the supporting libraries should I use? Will I have to modify any makefiles or other source? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
