Cygwin GNOME patches by Steven O'Brien
Cygwin GNOME 1.4 Project    Prebuilt Binary Packages: here
Cygwin GNOME 2.x    (not active now)
GTK2 on Cygwin    by Masahiro Sakai

Package	Version (source)	Patch	Note	Download
XFCE 4	rc3	xfce4-patches-cygwin-0913.tar.gz	The GUI of XFCE 4 is based on GTK+-2. Thus XFCE 4 is a good and light-weighted substitute of GNOME for Cygwin. It works very well on my desk. And very beautiful! screen shot detail info
GNOME 2.x stuff (Win32 GUI)
gaim	0.64	gaim-0.64-cygwin-win32.patch	Yes, they have the Win32 GUI, you don't need XFree86 to run them. Built with gtk2-win32 and glib from 'gtk2 on Cygwin' contributed by Masahiro Sakai. In order to run them, you need the following packages: glib2 gtk+-win32 atk pango fontconfig libintl2. It seems that the asian fonts (e.g: Chinese) could be rendered correctly.
gftp	2.0.14	See the README file.
GNOME 1.x stuff (The required libraries could be found from the Packages of Cygwin GNOME project)

gtk-themes-extra			Some additional themes
gtk-engines-extra			HighContrast A theme designed to be easily visible Notif2 Following the <I>NEW</I> look and feel of that ever so popular widget set: Motif 2.x Step A NEXTSTEP(tm) - like looking theme ThinICE Clean-looking theme based on raster's Motif. Industrial ? (An engine won the Best theme engine at gnomedesktop.org recently) Source packages are being preparing.
mah-jong	1.5.6	No patch required.	These programs allow the user of a Unix (or Windows) computer to play Mah-Jong, in the Chinese Classical style, against other users (locally or over the Internet), against programmed players, or both.
dillo	0.7.3-tab	dillo-0.7.3-mzz-cygwin.patch dillo-0.7.3-mzz-wtab.patch (link to madis's website) dillo-0.7.1-fontset.patch dillo-0.7.3-mzz-proxy.patch	A small, stable, developer-friendly, usable, fast, and extensible web browser. This release is a hacked version, based mainly on madis's patch, which contains a lot of improvments: - tabbed window browsing - WWW authorization - https support - quick search by typing '?text to search' to the location entry. (default search engine is google, but could be modified in dillorc) and many others. This release also have basic support for proxy authorization and fontset, they are made by myself. See patch -mzz-proxy and -fontset. (screen shot) detail info
dillo	0.7.3	dillo-0.7.2-cygwin.patch dillo-0.7.1-fontset.patch	A small, stable, developer-friendly, usable, fast, and extensible web browser. I added basic fontset support. The default settings are prepared for Simplified Chinese (zh_CN), you need gb2312.1980 and/or gbk fonts. Remember to set LC_MESSAGES to zh_CN.gbk or zh_CN.gb2312 before using it. Modify dillorc to fit your needs. (screen shot) detail info
gtk-theme-switch	1.0	No patch required.	A small utilitiy allows you to preview and switch GTK (1.x) themes. If you don't like the theme applet of Control Center, then try this.
gdk-pixbuf	0.22.0	-nomodules.patch	Different from the 'official' Cygwin GNOME version, these two are built with --disable-modules. That's to say, all the image file format loaders are built into main library DLL. Suitable for old Cygwin release, which could suffer less from the rebase issue.
imlib	1.9.14	-nomodules.patch
gtktalog	1.0rc2	gtktalog-1.0rc2-cygwin.patch	The binary here is a hacked version. I added a text widget in main window to show the file info just as WhereIsIt does. Here is the patch (This patch is already accepted by the author, latest version of cygwin port could be found here). Screen shot
Obsolete stuff
wmakerconf	2.8.1	?	Interactive graphical configuration tool for Window Maker. Written in GTK+, thus you need glib,imlib and gtk to run it.
WindowMaker	0.80	?	Different from the 'official' Cygwin release, this one is GNOME compliant (built with --with-gnome option) . XIM support is also enabled. detail info
wgnomemenu.pl		-	Similar to wkdemenu.pl, this script would add a "GNOME Programs" submenu in the root menu of your WindowMaker desktop. Prepared originally for Cygwin GNOME project.	here
vdkbuilder	1.2.5	?	VDKBuilder is a rapid application development tool somewhat similar to Borland C++Builder, based on VDK (see below). [ The plugin interface not available in this port. ] Screen shot
vdk	1.2.5	?	The Visual Development Kit is a C++ wrapper for GTK+ . You also need libsigc++.
libsigc++	1.0.3	?	The Typesafe Signal Framework for C++. It implements a full callback system for use in widget libraries, abstract interfaces, and general programming. It's originally part of the Gtk-- widget set.
