glib for cygwin

[Chang_Shen at progressive dot com]

Hi, all,
I have tried to compile glib and so far have not been successful.  Jong B. Lee
claimed he was be able to compile glib-1.2.8 with modification g_strsignal() to
const gchar* g_strsignal(), and const char* strsignal().  But I still got error,
especially in gthread_posix.c, even with the newest beta version.  Charles
Wilson pointed me to mailing list http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gimpwin-dev/,  I
searched there (I was unable to post question over there since my membership has
yet to be approved) and did not find satisfactory answer.

My question is:  Does Cygwin support glib/gtk yet.  Anyone has glib tar ball
which can be compiled?

If cygwin is a truly unix like api, other gnu code should be compiled under
cygwin without (major?) modification, right?

I am pretty new to cygwin.  I only used cygnus (unix like shell ) couple years
ago (1997?).  So my question may seems like stupid.

Thanks

CS
