I'm actually trying to build a standalone Win32 GDK library that I can drop into the current GTK installation to look at fixing a bug in it. I should have -mno-cygwin set but don't at this point because I was initially just trying to just get something to compile, and so I started with your suggestion from the README.win32 on what to pass to configure. Quite why the "-L/target/lib" is still in there, I'm not quite sure. I initially ran configure with exactly what you gave in README.win32 verbatim, then changed some of the options to get it to work with the latest cygwin, and changed "/target/lib" to "c:/GTK/lib", ending up using this: CC='gcc -march=pentium' CPPFLAGS='-I/cygdrive/c/GTK/include' CFLAGS='-O2' LDFLAGS='-L/cygdrive/c/GTK/lib' ./configure --disable-static --prefix=/cygdrive/c/GTK --with-gdktarget=win32 --with-wintab=/src/wtkit126 --with-ie55=/src/workshop/ie55_lib --host=i386-pc-mingw32 So the "-L/target/lib" must be a hold-over from the first configure run. Probably I should clean everything and start again. I wasn't sure about those references to "/src" either so just left them in as-is for now. I've had other problems trying to build this with CygWin too (e.g. "c:/" in dependencies which the latest CygWin make does not allow, and "/cygdrive/c" in the environment which the version of pkg-config that ships with the Win32 GTK does not like. So I'll try to start again with MinGW & MSYS and see how that goes.
