I'm tryng to compile it for win32. I found a link to this package on :
http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html
so I supposed that it was already configured for it.

Do I need to edit all the makefiles to add the -mno-cygwin flag ?

I want to build standalone win32 application like gimp, xchat, ...
This may not be the right way to do it.

The problem is that the programs works under cygwin but 
can't find the libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll for example under
win32.

Building a static binary will probably prevent this error
