They use the MSVCRT runtime.=20 That's the one you want: cygwin <> cygwin + mingw (mingw =3D msvcrt runtime) mingw only provides a compiler (it stands for minimal gcc for windows, I guess), where cygwin provides a bunch of libraries and unix compatibility layer. The reason to get cygwin + mingw (that is install the mingw that is provided by cygwin) is to have access to all the nice unix tools. Then mingw is turned on using a switch on cygwin gcc. So go get these gtk packages, they're the ones ;-) Alan --=20 The hacker: someone who figured things out and made something cool happen.
