I hate to be so negative but at the moment this will not work. The reason is simple, there's no 64-bit MinGW (yet?). > Has any one (ReactOS?) tried such a system on Linux? ReactOS could be cross-compiled, using MinGW, on Linux a few months ago. I assume that's still possible. > (And a philosophical Question: The "Sameness" of 32 bit > calling convention (and virtual tables) between PE and lets > call it GCC, was that a freak of nature? or is it just that > Unix people got there first this time and MS people must be > cocky? Or was it the Unix People who got cocky this time? ;-) I was wondering about that too. I have no idea about the timeline, who was first. It's conceivable that both parties worked on it at around the same time. G? van Geldorp.
