Hello,
I get following error, if I try to compile the gdiplus stuff in wxwidgets
c/msw/graphics.cpp

Thanks for the instructions. I used these headers to cross-compile wxWidgets on Linux (MinGW with GCC 4.4.4 from Ubuntu gcc-mingw32 package). I only needed to change the case of the filenames and remove extra-qualification in two places. Here is the patch: https://gist.github.com/894515
