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).
