I think the only change I made was in the makefile, to use -lXext as a ld flag. Anyone thinking about porting GTK based software to Cygwin should take the plunge. As far as my progress with the GIMP... I hacked enough of it into running condition to prove to myself it could be done. At this point I am going back, and doing the whole thing properly (with CVS, etc.) so that I can post the diffs (which are minor). I still haven't solved the plug-in problem I mentioned earlier, but Sergey's comments about bash forcing pipes to be text mode make me wonder if that might be a problem (as I have been running it under bash). If someone could get shared memory going under Cygwin it would help. Anyway, all of this takes a back seat to the day job, so progress is slow. One other thing... anyone think that porting GTK to use the native Windows API, rather than an Xserver, would be a good thing to to? An easy thing to do?
