Are you aware that the GTK+ for Cygwin is built with the X11 backend, i.e. software that uses it requires an X server (also know as "display")? (Either running on the same machine, or remotely.) (Also note that Cygwin is really a separate Unix-style operating system that just happens to run on top of Windows.) Is that really what you want? If not, forget GTK+ on Cygwin and just use GTK+ on Windows instead. Be very careful not to confuse and mix Cygwin libraries and Windows libraries when building something. Is the Eclipse you are using also a Cygwin one? If your intention is not to build software that runs on Cygwin and requires an X display, I would suggest you avoid Cygwin completely. Instead just install the MinGW compiler, and use that from Eclipse. For GTK+ on Windows, the simplest is to download the "bundle" from http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html and then run pkg-config to get the appropriate compiler flags to pass the compiler from Eclipse. I can't help you more with that, I don't use Eclipse. In fact, I would suggest that you first learn how to build GTK+ software directly from the command line without letting Eclipse hide what is really happening... but this is just my personal opinion. As a command-line environment I then suggest using MSYS and its bash shell. MinGW and MSYS are available from www.mingw.org. --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
