glib for cygwin

Wed Apr 11 05:57:00 GMT 2001

Hi, all,
I have tried to compile glib and so far have not been successful. Jong B. Lee
claimed he was be able to compile glib-1.2.8 with modification g_strsignal() to
const gchar* g_strsignal(), and const char* strsignal(). But I still got error,
especially in gthread_posix.c, even with the newest beta version. Charles
Wilson pointed me to mailing list http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gimpwin-dev/ , I
searched there (I was unable to post question over there since my membership has
yet to be approved) and did not find satisfactory answer.
My question is: Does Cygwin support glib/gtk yet. Anyone has glib tar ball
which can be compiled?
If cygwin is a truly unix like api, other gnu code should be compiled under
cygwin without (major?) modification, right?
I am pretty new to cygwin. I only used cygnus (unix like shell ) couple years
ago (1997?). So my question may seems like stupid.
Thanks
CS
