Requesting help to port g-wrap to cygwin

[Milind Kamble]

Hi.
  I have been using gnucash on a Gentoo box at home.
My work machine runs Windows XP, on which I have
installed cygwin. I would like to get gnucash ported
and compiled on cygwin.

First of all, is there any such effort/activity
underway? Based on my search of the mailing list and
the web, there doesn't seem to be.

To satisfy the dependencies of gnucash, I was trying
to get g-wrap ported over to cygwin. After spending 2
days reading all about GNU Auto tools, and the cygwin
related documentation on writing Makefile.am and
configure.[in|ac] for cygwin compatibility, I have
patched the $topdir/configure.in with the folowing
changes:
1 added a AM_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL macro call before
AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
2 changed AM_PROG_LIBTOOL to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL

Now when I autoconfiscate, then run configure and then
make, the DLLs are getting created but make fails
while creating libgw-test-glib.dll.a with the error
"g-wrap-1.3.4/test/gw-test-glib.c:206: undefined
reference to `_g_free'"
I have attached the make stdout output.

Since I do not understand the functionality of g-wrap,
would someone tell me where the function g_free() is
defined?

FYI: the following dlls and associated import libs
were created:
./g-wrap/.libs/cyggw-glib-0.dll
./g-wrap/.libs/cyggw-standard-0.dll
./g-wrap/.libs/cyggw-wct-0.dll
./g-wrap/.libs/cyggwrap-glib-1.dll
./g-wrap/.libs/cyggwrap-wct-1.dll
./g-wrap/.libs/libgw-glib.dll.a
./g-wrap/.libs/libgw-standard.dll.a
./g-wrap/.libs/libgw-wct.dll.a
./g-wrap/.libs/libgwrap-glib.dll.a
./g-wrap/.libs/libgwrap-wct.dll.a
./test/.libs/cygg-wrap-test-c-code-0.dll
./test/.libs/libg-wrap-test-c-code.dll.a
./test/.libs/libgw-test-glib.dll.a

Thanks
Milind
