I have a native Cygwin port of GTK 2.2 and other required libraries. But
I was not able to send the mail into this mailing list due some "error"
with the subject "GTK+ 2.2 on Cygwin - SUCCESS"

It is here:

Hello,

I have succeeded in compiling GTK+ 2.2 using real Cygwin (not with "gcc
-mno-cygwin"). I really works!

what has to done:
to have an up-to-date Cygwin installation

glib 2.2.0
- compile with Chuck Wilson's patch
(http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-01/msg00086.html)

atk 1.2.0
- it requires most work, configure/makefiles must be modified to use
both OS_WIN32 and PLATFORM_WIN32
- atk.def was manually copied into the build directory
- run bootstrap (the same as in glib)
  $ mkdir .build; cd .build
  $ ../configure --prefix=/usr/local --srcdir=../../atk-1.2.0
--enable-maintainer-mode
  $ make; make install

pango 1.2.0
- needs small change in modules/basic/basic-win32.c to have some LANG_
defines while we do not have usp10.h
- run bootstrap
  $ mkdir .build; cd .build
  $ ../configure --prefix=/usr/local --srcdir=../../pango-1.2.0
--enable-maintainer-mode
  $ make; make install

gtk 2.2.0
- biggest problem here - it requires libtool compatible libuuid.a to
build gdk_win32.dll => I extracted uuid.o from the library, manually
created a valid libtool object file and added it into the link command
and run the link command manually

  $ mkdir .build; cd .build
  $ ../configure --with-gdktarget=win32 --without-x --prefix=/usr/local
--srcdir=../../gtk+-2.2.0
  $ make; make install

No extensive testing was done yet, but the tests from gtk distribution
are working well. I will try to clean my sources and prepare some
patches. Or I can package the whole build trees and place it somewhere
for others.
