Hi Sheryl, >Has anyone here built a mingw -> linux cross compiler? Ummmm, that doesn't make sense to me. MinGW's goal (as I understand it, perhaps oversimplistically) is to make the full Windows API accessible to the GCC compiler. q.v. <http://www.mingw.org/> Or do you mean to make (cross compiler) mingw hosted on Linux, which can produce native Windows applications? (If so... I don't know the answer. I've never heard of anyone doing that. Could be useful.) If so, my apologies for my misunderstanding. --Eljay
