Re: Compilation of GIMP under window32

[Earnie Boyd]

We can handle this in MinGW.  We'll create the sys/param.h file.  For now
you can use:

<FILE NAME="/mingw/include/sys/param.h">
#ifndef _SYS_PARAM_H
#define _SYS_PARAM_H

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <limits.h>

#endif
</FILE>

Please report other problems with this to address@hidden
