Actually, if you look at the configure line he called, he's trying to
get a copy of gaim-text. The short answer is that gaim-text is not
supported on cygwin or Win32 at all. I believe that Daniel got it to
compile, but that he could not get it to run satisfactorily.
Gaim can't be compiled on cygwin most likely without a patch since our
#ifdef _WIN32 blocks adjust the code to work under a specialized Win32
build environment we have authored, not the cygwin unix compatibility
layer. Some of those #ifdefs probably need to be reversed in order to
make the software compatible with cygwin. There is most likely another
define which can be used to detect cygwin and apply appropriate changes
to the code, but I'm not sure what it is off hand.
