After all that effort, you'll only have a half-arsed development environment :-( debugging will be painful and building will be slow. I'd only bother it if you really need to build a native win32 binary. On 12/11/05, Kevin Cozens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Michael Schumacher wrote: > > Building GIMP isn't hard.
