Hello,
I'm about to try this and just wanted to know if anyone has had any success.

Cheers,
Gardner

Not that I know of. It would be interesting if you posted your results.

I guess that what needs to be done to get it to compile on cygwin is almost the same as nedds to be done to get it to do that under unix.

And there are issues with microsoft-compiler specific features in WTL/ATL. Apparently borland has a modified WTL version somewhere (probably not 7.1 or 7.5) - it was modifed only enough for their compiler, probably not g++. This mail to the WTL mailing list outlines some of the issues.

I've since found the free vctoolkit from ms available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/ which I have to imagine is much easier to build with than cygwin/mingw.
