Guys, I've updated cgminer-gekko, if you download it now the link is still the same:

http://gekkoscience.com/misc/cgminer-gekko.tar.gz

If for some reason you need the old version, it can be found at:

http://gekkoscience.com/misc/cgminer-gekko-orig.tar.gz


The new version is slightly cleaned up and will build alongside icarus.  I've tested it with a U2 and they run at the same time.  I also fixed it to recognize bitshopper compacs, as that was a source of annoyance.  I have yet to try to force a windows build.

As to people suggesting that the compac driver should be part of icarus:  maybe, it really doesn't matter to me.  I'm not going to develop it as part of icarus though as I am substantially extending it for multi-chip and icarus is a total mess.  Even detection is crude because no one bothered to build most hardware that runs under icarus correctly so you simply have to try running each piece of hardware successively and see if it might be any of them.

If I need to somehow recombine the compac-only driver as part of icarus that might be possible.  cgminer-gekko will continue to exist for ongoing development, however.
