[ROOT] newbie problems and questions

Hello everyone,

I apologize for being a newcomer to ROOT and having to ask silly questions. 
I checked the archives, but some issues were discussed quite a while ago and 
things may have changed.

* I discovered ROOT and CInt while investigating a way to interface a 
scripting language (Erlang) with C/C++ libraries, while avoiding to write a 
wrapper library. I think CInt should be enough, but then I was confused by 
the dictionary generator, that is included with ROOT.
- Is the dictionary necessary to be able to integrate own code, or is it 
enough with makecint? What is the difference?
- The library I had in mind is Fltk (a GUI toolkit); ROOT's GUI seems a 
little too heavy (footprint), and I need a crossplatform solution including 
Windows. Are there any new developments with the GUI?
- I use cygwin and gcc, and I can't create .dlls with the default makefiles 
(it takes 5 steps to make a dll, and one needs for example the symbol for 
the entry point). Is there a way to go around this? Like, compiling to 
static libraries? I sometimes get errors because longlong library can't be 
found - the reason being I can't create it.

I hope my questions are clear enough and I will be happy for any bit of help 
and information. Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Vlad
