You know about http://mingw-w64.sf.net/ right? I sure hope so. If not, please ask me :) What is your end goal? Porting cygwin to win64 is a huge task, and it might not be necessary. We can already cross compile from cygwin32 to native win64 on a win64 system. Is that all you need? If you really are going to port cygwin, you should start by porting all the dependencies. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
