Can you let me know if X11 package can be installed in windows. Since my requirement is add an icon on system tray & notify on updates. Can you please let me know if it is feasible on windows through GNUStep. If yes... can you let me know how it can be done.
What do you mean for "X11 package"? There are X server for windows (Xming or Cygwin for example) but I don't think that we currently are able to build against then, we use native win32 for the backend.
And how would X11 help you for system tray stuff? I think you mean the window system tray? I don't follow you there.
You can access native windows 32 calls and DLLs, so you can build your own kit to handle them. It would be a windows specific package of course.
I gather that your question is now becoming generic GNUstep programming and it is no longer a projectcenter specific one.
