That's not completely true. For example, if the Unicon source contains
(and I'm fairly sure it does) something like:
#ifdef WINDOWS
/* Some Visual C++ specific thing */
#endif
then that's going to have to be changed to merge the Windows and Unix
code. If you installed an X server, you could probably get one of the
Unix configurations to build, but I don't think that's really what you
want, since there is code there to do Windows graphics and make Windows
executables that you would like to benefit from.
I think your best bet for building with GCC is to get a MinGW
distribution, copy the Windows configuration, change VC++ things to GCC
and then fixup any compiler dependencies that may exist. That way you
would get Windows Unicon, but built with GCC, and it wouldn't depend
on the Cygwin DLL.
