I am using Cygwin and Gtk2 On Cygwin, and I'm very happy with the 
combination.  I can write my Window$ apps, both backend and GUI, almost 
identically to working in Linux.  In fact, Cygwin even includes all the 
familiar (text) shells.  There are a few minor things missing from the 
Cygwin version of LibC, but really very few, mostly related to Window$ 
lacking certain basic functionality.

Some will say that Gtk is incompatible with Cygwin, but I think that 
occurs only if you mix Cygwin(LibC) and GLib functions for operations with 
files or threads.  I use Cygwin for everything but GUI, and Gtk for all 
GUI.

Hi, everybody.

I'm new to this list. I a GNU/Linux user/developer.

Straight to the point: where can I find detailed information on
how to compile a C GTK+ program to work in Windows (crosscompilation
from Linux or anything else)?...
