Re: how to use GTK+ on Mingw&msys? what i need to begin with GTK+?

["L. Misoullee" <ivsp msn com>]

thank you.
yeh, i am little on english but i can know what you tell me.
in addition, i live in seoul korea.

as you said the  Mingw is not Unix emlulation but msys is.
just i would said so . becuase of it looks the Mingw usually do with msys.
also Gaim on Windows doesn't use any Unix emulation.
i know it.

however, don't i need gcc compiler in order to compile my GTK+ application 
on Windows ?
since i have known whether GTK+ for Win32 is just used when runing my GTK+ 
application on Windows.
somehow Windows version's GTK+ application, Linux/Unix version's GTK+ 
application, as nodoubt previously my GTK+ app should be compiled whether 
on Unix system or Linux or Windows..CORRECT?
i found something about Mingw-relations, 
at Gaim homepage they suggest which compile the Gaim source for Windows by 
using Mingw.
i just understood so.

also it looks MacOS has even less to do in this.

i'm sorry about my bad english.

thank you.
