Thanks, but that's not what I'm looking for. I've already showed that I can cross compile from cygwin to mingw. However, I would also like to build nativly for mingw. I can do this if I'm sitting at my computer, cuase the msys environment is easy to get. However, when I'm remote, there is no way I can see to get into an msys environment. The mingw-users list suggested that I get another version of sshd that's not related to cygwin. However, i like cygwin's sshd server. Any ideas?
