Okay, cool.  This makes me feel a little more comfortable with the
linking, but unforunately it didn't work.

$ which gcc
/cygdrive/c/mingw/bin/gcc
$ gcc --version
2.95.3-5
I have removed cygwin gcc to make sure that I don't get the wrong one.

I actually started again (again), and here is what I did ...

compile gif plugin
==================

Set up I: drive as c:\yyy which holds /src
in cygwin I created the symlink from /src to /cygdrive/c/yyy/src

mkdir /src/plugins
extract desktop/gimp-1.2.3.tar.bz2 into /src/plugins (tml patched
source)
rename /src/plugins/gimp-1.2.3 to /src/plugins/gimp
cd /src/plugins/gimp
cp config.h.win32 config.h

extract into /src/plugins
	libintl-0.10.40-20020310.zip (-lintl)
	libiconv-dev-1.7.zip (-lconv)
	gimp-dev-1.2.3-20020527.zip (-lgimp and -lgimpui)
	gtk+-dev-1.3.0-20020310.zip (-lgtk -lgdk)
	glib-dev-2.0.3-20020525.zip (-lglib-2.0)

I extract gimp-1.2.3-2002057.zip to c:\program files\test

cd /src/plugins/gimp/plug-ins/common
create program "go"
--start go--
#!/bin/sh
set -x
LIBS=" -L../../../lib -lintl -liconv -lgimp -lgimpui -lgtk -lgdk
-lglib-2.0"
gcc -mpentium -fnative-struct -o gif.exe -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
-DGTK_DISABLE_COMPAT_H gif.c -I ../../../include  -I
../../../include/glib-2.0 -I ../../../lib/glib-2.0/include -I
../../../lib/gtk+/include -I ../.. $LIBS 
cp gif.exe /cygdrive/c/Progra~1/Test/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins
--end go--

run:
sh go
run gimp
new blank image
save as c:\a.gif
bang :-(

(it doesn't show up in the list of options, I guess indicating
that the registration didn't work either)

ideas? thanks....
