Exactly: using the Cygwin tools to build libraries for native Win32.

Right, thank you, i somehow missed that earlier. I've focused just on
building glib (2.4.2) since you wrote me, but i still have had no luck. I
am using --host=i686-pc-mingw32, and/or --build=i686-pc-mingw32
and -mno-cygwin now to correctly target win32, but i have been unable to
build glib. i'm using the latest cygwin packages (gcc version 3.3.1
(cygming special)) and i tried the Mingw compiler too (gcc version 3.2.3
(mingw special 20030504-1)). i tried both sets of headers, and tried
fiddling with various headers in a few places but no luck. i guess i need
to pass some magic options to gcc but i don't know what they are.
I know it's possible to build glib for native Win32 since i've used your
libraries. But how do i do it? Does someone know what it takes to compile
glib (forget gtk for now) with Cygwin or mingw? i don't care how so long as
i can repeat the procedure. i've read all the readmes and scoured the web.
i tried to search the gtk-devel-list archives but the search page does not
function.
I have attached a bzip'd file containing a record of my attempts to compile
glib for win32. Thanks for your help.
Tim
