I believe that was. But I haven't had much luck compiling stuff with it, but then again, I already had a dual-boot linux system, so why use Cygwin in the first place, and download libraries I already had in Linux? Kind of redundant, seeing as wine doesn't work 100% yet, but I guess it might have some use as a testing thing. Does MinGW work either? Because that would theoretically give the same idea -- Windows>Wine>App.exe (except that Wine would be built as a Win32 exe). If you don't know, I see no problem with you trying anyways, but make sure you have all the required libs and gcc and whatnot. You'll also need X packages. However, I believe that cygwin was a very... unsual and heavily modified linux-style setup. I'm not even sure if it uses a proper gcc (i.e. *NOT* "2.96") -- maybe I'll check sometime. Good luck, if you attempt it. > Gordon > > _______________________________________________ > wine-users mailing list > wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx > http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users Hope I helped. -Michael Chang _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
