I humbly have to admit that I lack the experience to feel confident in compiling the Cygwin gcc/ld on Linux. I could probably do it over time, but I'd rather avoid it if it's already been done. A compiler is not a small piece of software. Another issue that intimidates me is the fact that a Linux->CYGWIN gcc would need a largely different set of header files, libraries etc to the set used by native Linux gcc. If feels like there'd be more to it than just changing a few trivial makefile constants and #defines to keep the CYGWIN-targeted headers and libraries from clashing with the native Linux ones. Would I get away with Linux's 'make', or would I need to port cygwin's make? Any leads or advice would be deeply appreciated. Especially if someone could offer a URL where I could download an existing cross-compiler. Please reply to david@rebirthing.co.nz -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
