A cygwin port can't really be considered a "windows application" since it requires that the windows user install cygwin. This is not for the faint of heart.
There are many good reasons why some people develop on Linux. Porting between Linux and Windows is not trivial. A better way to run linux programs on borrowed Windows machines might be to burn a LiveCD with one's program -- something akin to the Hikarunix CD, which tournament organizers could then pop into a computer, boot, and start the program. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
