Re: Cygwin GNOME 1.4 binary packages

I think it doesn't.

I'm a Chinese guy,too. I've noticed that the Chinese charactor couldn't show up properly. But I have no time to investigate this.

I share out these packages only in hope that they might be useful to those want to use GNOME applications under Cygwin, esp. for some lazy guys.
And maybe we can take them just as a start of Cygwin GNOME project.

BTW: How do you know that "GTK+2 can run under cygwin good"?
You mean you have built GNOME2 packages under Cygwin, by saying that?

PS: I'm not on the mailing list. Please CC me.
