I was doing exactly this about a year ago and used Mingw. The only annoyance was that I could compile everything on Linux in about 3 minutes (P4 2.8Ghz), but had to wait about 60-90 minutes for the same thing on Windows 2003 Server! (also a P4 2.8Ghz...). So I used to build a 'go for coffee' task into the build and test cycle.


Youch!  That seems unbelievably bad, even for Microsloth.  Did you ever
identify what was the bottleneck?


No - I was connecting using an RDB client from a Linux box (over a LAN), so was never sure how much that was hurting things... but (as noted by Magnus) the compiler itself is noticeablely slower (easily observed during the 'configure' step).
