Hi Gregory, Alright, thanks for the warning -- in case something big doesn't work, I won't be surprised.
I'm treating Cygwin as a UNIX setup, and intend to use the build I get solely with X11. That means as little playing with Windows stuff as possible, at this point. I'm only trying this because I'll be spending some time in Windows and would like to easily work on Opal backend at the same time. I definitely agree that MinGW is the way to go -- in my case, I need something to develop for UNIX without booting the Linux installation, or installing yet another VM under an OS I rarely use. So far, the installation is going well -- GNUstep Base has now installed, and once I passed --disable-jpeg, -gui is also installing.
