Re: [gtk-vnc-devel] PATCH: Portability to compile under MinGW forWindows

[Atsushi SAKAI <sakaia jp fujitsu com>]

Hi, Dan

  I am grad to hear this!

In my case, I cannot run the gtk-vnc success fully.
(timing problem occured)

This is because I am stacked in multi-thread issue on MinGW
a few month ago.
Then I searched the  GLib/Win binary which supports multi-thread
(includes compilation from source code.)
but I cannot find the way.

Thanks
Atsushi SAKAI
