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

[leyland needham <leyland gmail com>]

I didn't come across any problems with them except that changing the
make file from 1.0 to 1.2 allowed it to build, I don't have
gtkglextmm-1.0 installed at all.

I built them with the command line "make -f Makefile.mingw" in the
examples directory, and the output looked normal and all the exes are
there and run fine.

I'm using g++ 3.2.3 I haven't updated it to the 3.4.3 on the mingw website.

I set --prefix= to my gtk directory, since it has everything else
(gtk/gtkglext/gtkmm) I didn't think there would be a problem setting
it to the same directory (plus all the pc files end up in the same
pkg-config directory as well), and ran the "make install" to install
it there.

Can't think of anything else, right now, that I may have done to get it to work.
