Pre-requisite libraries

Package	Version(Source)	Notes	Download
cygextras	0.3.4	cygextras is a dll containing various functions required by Gnome modules but missing from cygwin1.dll. Made by Steven O'Brien. Since gnome-vfs and ORBit is staticly linked against it, you need this only if you want to build gnome-vfs or ORBit by your own.	N/A
libungif	4.1.0-b1	Deprecated since Cygwin GNOME 1.4 beta2. For old packages: you can use Cygwin official release of libungif-4.1.0, but you need to copy /bin/cygungif-4.dll to /opt/gnome/bin/cygungif.dll.
