GTK+, CYGWIN, MSW and GCC flagas

["Jamiil Abdullah-Alkadir" <jamiil_abdullah_alkadir hotmail com>]

Before going any further, I would like to thank everyone involved in helping 
me find I solution to this problem, your help has been most valuable, 
specially yours Stefan; your help has been most welcomed.
I did check "Tor's" web page righ after reading your message; there I found 
out that one can compile a gtk program under cygwin that will be able to run 
on MSW machines just by using the '-mno-cygwin' flag.
I have not tested this flag and cannot make any assestment as to the 
certenty of Tor's statement for two reasons. I don't know how to use this 
falg and I don't want to spent the time finding out how it works knowing 
that the result could be unsatisfactory. Thus I have decided to post the 
folowing question to the group in the hope that someone might have had a 
previous encounter with this problem and be in a better possition to make a 
recomendation on this issue.

Before Thanks to everyone envolved in
