Hi :)
If GNUStep's Foundation only uses libc-calls, maybe it's possible to
compile it without cygwin.
I am not sure what cygwin does as I try to avoid everything
pc and use mostly os x and solaris. However, on solaris, the
gnustep foundation stuff compiled fine on cc. The only
requirement was ffcall.lib (which is also free) to do DO. If
you don't need DO, you could prob do without it. It is
Appkit with it's rendering system based on dps and its heavy
use of Notifications and multithreading that you would prob
have biggest problems with.
I know cc with Foundation works under linux so get hold of
it and try it from within Windows.
Quicktime, however, is a much bigger problem. As it is
mostly used through carbon anyhow, maybe you can just knock
up some dll you could use with foundation but I really don't
know and GNU's Appkit does not support it.
Maybe even Apple's CoreFoundation compiles on Windows NT/2k, it's API is
pretty POSIX-like.
CoreFoundation is part of the Darwin package isn't it? If
so, yes, it does compile on a pc but I don't know about
under windows.
Check out the GNUstep website for more info on what is
needed for Foundation.
