Hi Mike, > Is it possible use Cygwin to run an autotools 'configure' script but > have the compiler be MSVC?
Yeah, sure, i have done this in the past. "./configure CC=cl.exe" should get you going as far as i remember. Make sure your MS tools are in your PATH. There are limitations though, as some of library search mechanisms in autoconf will not work as expected, so do not expect larger projects to work without having to hack a bit in those nasty M4 macro files (yikes!). But for simple projects it does actually work, which is what i used it for. I have not tried it recently, but i guess it still is supported.
