How many Unix emulations on Windows do we need? > We've already absorbed a sheer endless set of patches to make it work > on CYGWIN. How does Mingw differ? None at all. MinGW is not a Unix emulation. There is a minimal shell environment (MSYS) which works with MinGW (allowing use of the autoconf/make toolchain) but the produced binaries have no reliance on anything except the native win32 libraries. I was recently trying to use MinGW to compile Python CVS at home - I don't own, not will I pay for MSVC++. I occasionally have to use it at work, but only from the command line ;) I gave up when it got into posixmodule.c and there was lots of stuff there I didn't know about. I personally am very pleased that Gerhard is working so hard to make this a viable compilation option on Windows. http://www.mingw.org/ http://www.mingw.org/msys.shtml Tim Delaney
