Hi,

    I am looking to have a gui developed for some cygwin compiled
code I am using.  I am curious as to the approach others have taken
here.  I see a number of possible ways it could work.  Which of these
are actually practical?

   - Compile non-cygwin gui code with cygwin's gcc and libraries
     to form a cygwin binary.  This may involve some changes to
     include directives, some tweaking of headers and libs.

   - Compile parts with cygwin and parts with non-cygwin tools
     and link them together.

   - Compile everything with non-cygwin tools and link against
     cygwin libraries and/or dlls.

There's also the possibility of using some gui code that is
already written for cygwin (like tk), but we probably won't be
taking that approach.  If anyone has found a gui package for cygwin
that they find extraordinarily good, I would be interested in
hearing about it though.

                                      Tim N.
