[Freeciv-Dev] Re: building under cygwin

[James Wilson <fat_hot@xxxxxxxxx>]

thanks, I will try some of these options out. I was in fact able to build 
the cvs HEAD against gtk 1.2, but there were some complications and I 
didn't want to get into them in my first message, thinking that maybe gtk 
1.3 could be made to work, in which case 1.2 would be irrelevant. I will go 
back along that route with 1.12.0 and the patch and see what happens.
as for X11 on Windows, I am using XFree86 and Cygwin. the X11 win32 
civclient binary distribution works like a charm. I found it a bit slower 
but much more stable than the "native" win32 binary (especially towards the 
end of a long game).
