(let's just say it isn't pretty) Wine should still load its builtin libs first. Your going to need to add some configure magic to detect interix/SFU and get it building. The last time I tried I ran in to conflicts with headers. It seems what Microsoft has for basic types in the POSIX headers does not match what windows has. > There are several obvious pros: You can test Wine almost fully under > Windows without mingling with Windows's native componets.

You can already test any of the pure Win32 Wine dlls if you do a mingw build. Trying to to a port is a good bit of work. A port to SFU has the same problems as a Cygwin port. Your going to have to implement support in ntdll and wineserver for get/setthreadcontext. For simple Win32 apps that can just be stubbed but then you have the harder task of implementing or working around the lack of send/recvmsg. I think there was a hack to emulate it for cygwin but I never got around to testing it so you might be able to come up with a creative solution that will work for both targets. My advice would be to get it working on cygwin first and then port to SFU.
