By pure coincidence I happened to try compiling AOLserver under WinSFU last night...
First, yes, SFU basically seems to be a Microsoft proprietary Cygwin. Of note, they do not include X. All of the x* bins are in there, e.g. xterm, but the actual Xwindows server is not included. You have to buy Xwin32, Exceed, or something else.
As for AOLserver under such an environment... The optional TCL binaries and libraries for SFU, which are downloaded separately from interopsystems.com, were not compiled with threads enabled so the AOLserver compile chokes. You can download their version of the TCL source from interop, but it seems to be practically identical to the official TCL source tarball. I tried to compile both and got the same errors. Configuring under the win tree chokes because 'windres' is missing. I'm not really a Windows guy and I don't know what 'windres' is. The unix tree will configure but won't compile due to some kind of timezone error.
It was time for bed at that point, so I gave up. It seems to me it should be possible to compile AOLserver under this configuration. It just requires some hacking-out-of-the-box.
Cheers, Kevin

Just curious, has anyone tried compiling and running AOLserver in this environment on Windows?
