Subject:	need help with gtk
Mime-Version:	1.0

hi..

i'm a newbie when it comes to unix programming. was very interested
in x windows programming under linux and was really happy to find that
gtk has been ported over to cygwin! however, the setup instructions
left me with some minor confusion...

i suppose i need to install cygwin full.exe and place gcc 2.95.2 over
the installation to give myself a gcc compiler... what's the difference
besides the change of dlls used? do i still get commands like fork()
and kill() that i would expect to get with cygwin? (or even commands
like popen, and most unix api calls)

i noticed that gcc 2.95.2 comes with mingw32 libraries as well...
so do i need to download the mingw32 libraries mentioned in the
gtk documentations?

do i need to have gcc to use gtk? anyway, the gtk development libraries
unpack into src/ folder... is that supposed to be right? i mean, do i
place this under the lib folder in cygwin and move the .h files into
the include directory and stuff like that? (just want to put things
at places where they were intended to go..)

i'm rather confused over the whole thing.. as to what i need and what
i don't need, what's already there and what's not... 
i need opengl functions later too... what package do i look for? i'm
currently looking at mesa under linux.. any equivalents under
cygwin/gcc? (whichever i should refer to... sigh)

thanks in advance...

khchan
