Re: Running GIMP under Cygwin (not Win32!)??

[Rui-Tao Dong <rdong at trestlecorp dot com>]

1.2.1 compiles more or less out of the box and runs fine w/ most of
the plugins.  However, it is very very slow.  My 200MHz PPro Linux box
w/256MB memory and a remote display runs much snappier than the 2GHz
P4 W2k box w/1GMB Memory running CYGWIN_NT-5.0 1.3.12 with local XFree.
