One of the major good reasons, in my personal, biased opinion, is that Windows, contrary to Linux or OpenSolaris, lacks a central software repository with all the necessary dependencies for a build that would make a 'standard' developer setup as trivial as it is on other, friendlier operating systems. > Have you looked at using cmake instead of cygwin? Cygwin is a 'Linux'-y environment for Windows. Cmake is a build system. They are not necessarily interchangeable. cheers, dalibor topic -- ******************************************************************* Dalibor Topic Tel: (+49 40) 23 646 738 Java F/OSS Ambassador AIM: robiladonaim Sun Microsystems GmbH Mobile: (+49 177) 2664 192 Nagelsweg 55 http://openjdk.java.net D-20097 Hamburg mailto:dalibor.to...@sun.com Sitz der Gesellschaft: Sonnenallee 1, D-85551 Kirchheim-Heimstetten Amtsgericht München: HRB 161028 Geschäftsführer: Jürgen Kunz
