If you're familiar with the procedure for cross compiling, then this can be applied to build Cygwin on Linux (targeting Windows). There's a good step-by-step recipe for building the cross compiler here: Once that's done, you can build Cygwin using the new cross compiler. If none of this makes any sense to you and you're not interested in slogging through it on your own, then attempting this is something you shouldn't try. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
