Re: cygwin gtk+ eclipse on windows Gtk-WARNING cannot open display

[newusergtk+]

I'm forced to use cygwin for work so I have no choice.
I solved the problem.
Anyway I thank you for your advice.
bye

 Are you aware that the GTK+ for Cygwin is built with the X11 backend,
 i.e. software that uses it requires an X server (also know as
 display)? (Either running on the same machine, or remotely.) (Also
 note that Cygwin is really a separate Unix-style operating system that
 just happens to run on top of Windows.)
 
 Is that really what you want? If not, forget GTK+ on Cygwin and just
 use GTK+ on Windows instead. Be very careful not to confuse and mix
 Cygwin libraries and Windows libraries when building something.
 
 Is the Eclipse you are using also a Cygwin one?
 
 If your intention is not to build software that runs on Cygwin and
 requires an X display, I would suggest you avoid Cygwin completely.
 
 Instead just install the MinGW compiler, and use that from Eclipse.
 For GTK+ on Windows, the simplest is to download the bundle from
 http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html and then run pkg-config to
 get the appropriate compiler flags to pass the compiler from Eclipse.
 I can't help you more with that, I don't use Eclipse.
 
 In fact, I would suggest that you first learn how to build GTK+
 software directly from the command line without letting Eclipse hide
 what is really happening... but this is just my personal opinion. As a
 command-line environment I then suggest using MSYS and its bash shell.
 
 MinGW and MSYS are available from www.mingw.org.

cygwin gtk+ eclipse on windows Gtk-WARNING cannot open display

[newusergtk+]

Hello, i installed cygwin, gtk+(available with cygwin) and eclipse on Windows
xp.

I'm trying to run a simple gtk+ application available on the site
www.gtk.org .

I have been able to compile my gtk+ program using Eclipse without errors but
when I run it the console says Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: and
hence my application does not display. 
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks very much,
Loredana:D
