Re: [GtkGLExt] Building gtkglextmm-1.1.0 with Cygwin/MinGW

[Alif Wahid <alif wahid gmail com>]

what about the example programs that come witt gtkglextmm-1.1.0? I know 
there is an issue with most of them regarding exporting of symbol tables 
in the DLL. I'd be curious to know how you went with compiling the 
example programs.

alif.
P.S. Happy new year to you as well :)
