Hi You won't have to *hack* your build system ;o) Nearly everything can stay the same when using WGCC, only if you want shared libraries (haha) you need to use A patched libtool ;o) (patches available from www.sf.net/projects/interix-wgcc) Cool though, that somebody ever thinks of wgcc ;o) P.S.: for the wgcc approach you'll need Interix (SFU or SUA depending on your windows version) Cheers, Markus > I've been using the autotools for a couple of years now and I think > this is the only real limitation I ran into.
