Things may work, or may not. +Things may never work because of huge differences between Linux and +Windows. Or things may work in future, if you report the faults to +busy...@busybox.net, especially with patches. + +pclo...@gmail.com +15/04/2010 + +Building +======== + +You need MinGW compiler and a POSIX environment (so that "make +menuconfig" works). I cross compile from Linux, but MSYS or Cygwin +should be OK. + +In order to compile the WinGW port you need to: + +Start with "make menuconfig": + + - Select target platform as "MS Windows" + - If you cross compile, set + Busybox Settings -> Build Options -> Cross Compiler Prefix + - Select whatever applets/features you like + +Do "make" + +Attempts to make it work with MS Visual Studio are appreciated. You +can start with porting kconfig ;-) + +Limitation +========== + + - Use forward slashes. Backslash support is very limited. + - Do not do wild things with Windows drive notation, like archiving a + whole drive. If you want it, tell us, preferably with patches.
