Could you clarify the original scope ? Eventually we can test in your behalf. As alternative to wine, if I am not wrong, Corinna when testing cygwin on several platforms (32/64, XP, W7, W8 , Server...) is using some VM and also her main compiling machine is a Linux one; setup.exe itself is cross-compiled on a Linux machine. Eventually it is a more easy approuch for your trials Regards Marco -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
