RE: [Freeciv-Dev] GTK and Imlib Questions

["Todd Goodman" <tsg1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Yes, I used 'make install'.  OK.  Now I understand what the .la files
are for.  Thanks.

I'm not building for WIN32, but for Cygwin (which should look like a
UNIX to configure).  It's probably something in the configure.  I'll
look into it further (and look into the GTK/Imlib mailing lists).

Thanks again,

Todd
