From: newsham@lava.net (Tim Newsham) Subject: linking cygwin against non-cygwin 3 Feb 1998 15:03:37 -0800 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: gnu-win32@cygnus.com Hi, I am looking to have a gui developed for some cygwin compiled code I am using. I am curious as to the approach others have taken here. I see a number of possible ways it could work. Which of these are actually practical? - Compile non-cygwin gui code with cygwin's gcc and libraries to form a cygwin binary. This may involve some changes to include directives, some tweaking of headers and libs. - Compile parts with cygwin and parts with non-cygwin tools and link them together. - Compile everything with non-cygwin tools and link against cygwin libraries and/or dlls. There's also the possibility of using some gui code that is already written for cygwin (like tk), but we probably won't be taking that approach. If anyone has found a gui package for cygwin that they find extraordinarily good, I would be interested in hearing about it though.
