Running a simple GUI app
Hi there,
After installing Cygwin (under WinXP) I've got to the stage of compiling a
very simple "Hello World" app which just displays an empty GTK dialog with
the title "Hello World". To run the app I (currently) have to start Cygwin
(using its desktop icon), type "startx" into the DOS terminal (which opens a
second terminal window), navigate to the folder containing my executable and
finally type "./HelloWorld". Obviously this is all a bit convoluted. Is
there a simpler way to launch my app - for example:-
a) Double clicking on an icon, or
b) Issuing some command (from a DOS terminal) that would launch the app -
but starting Cygwin and X invisibly.
Thanks,
John
