Re: Questions I should have asked

Thank you for all the replies I received it makes me feel good that I am not
necessarily the only one on the bleeding edge of using Open Source on Windows.

While I attempt some of the compiler/linker switches suggested may I put the
following problem forward again.

I am now getting Gtk-ERROR** Incompatible Build when I attempt to
 run my Linux developed application on Windows.

Tor thank you for this suggestion but when I attempt it by adding the
-mms-bitfields to the linker options I still get "Incompatible build!" & when I
add it to the compiler switches I get told by cc1.exe that "output filename
specified twice".

I get the same effect if I use -fnative-struct so now I am really confused.
