Subject:	What's the status of cygwin on NT device drivers?
Message-ID:	<20000816015112.B19665@marcellos.corky.net>
Mime-Version:	1.0

 Hi,

	I would like very much to avoid using MSVC or similar packages
to make an NT device driver. paying cygnus is way better than paying MS :)

	I've  skimmed through the lists, and found some old (1999) notes
about cygwin already supporting native PE's, but not __fastcall, what
has changed since then?

	So, who has some updated info for me on building them pesky drivers
w/ the help of that butt-ugly NT DDK?

	It needn't be a comlex driver,  basically hooking some syscalls and
talking to a userland app. maybe even write a device which emulates /dev
so no changes will be needed in my Unixified userland code. ;)

	I'd also be glad to land a hand to those with things in progress
concerning this issue.

	Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 bye,
	Marc.
