Upon further inspection of the packages from cygwin-port, it seems that GDK has a gdkx.h, which means that it uses the X Windows System. I don't really know whether you really need to use X Windows or not, but my guess is no. The Win32 ports from Tor use gdkwin32.h instead, so those are 100% free of X dependencies. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
