(I'm taking the freedom to CC to the gtk-list as the issue may be of general interest.) Yes, you may use cygwin for compiling. You might want to have a look at the following file for an example: http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/giv/giv/makefile.mingw?view=markup This makefile assumes that the gtk developer package has been unzip'd in /usr/local under cygwin. Especially note the -mms-bitfields -mno-cygwin flags that are necessary in order to get the executable not to be dependent on the GPL'd cygwin.dll . Regarding my earlier comment on the use of nsis for making an install program, you may want to have a look on: http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/giv/giv/giv.nsi?view=markup This creates an installation routine that is dependent on the installation of the Gtk runtime package.
