Re: GTK+, CYGWIN, MSW and GCC flagas

[Stefan Kost <ensonic hora-obscura de>]

Hi Jamiil,

have you had a look on http://mingw.sf.net?
MingW together with MSYS is somthing like Cygwin with the difference that it 
targets on the windows platfrom directly. Cygwin uses an thick emulation layer.
So MingW is what you want to use.
Apart -mno-cygwin can be just part of your other CFLAGS.
