1) Why not *try* running cygwin under Wine? The only way to know for sure is to actually try it anyway. You can't rely on anecdotal evidence. 2) Please don't use this list as a fact gathering mechanism for your internal requirements. >> If Cygwin would run under Wine, I'd be a very happy person, we >> wouldn't need real Windows machines for builds, and we could consign >> all our Windows build machines, their ITSC compliance, and the >> continual stream of updates and security fixes to the deepest pits >> of hell. 3) As Larry noted, you could use a cross-compiler. I know that you maintain that you would do testing under Wine but it seems rather foolhardy to do all of your testing on an emaulator rather than a real Windows system. I don't think your customers would be pleased if Wine somehow masked a problem that only manifested on, say, Windows Server 2003. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
