Cygwin would work. But then I would need to carry cygwin1.dll with me. And it sometimes conflicts with other POSIX emulation. Windows is not POSIX. Mingw is the closet (in terms of open source) thing that reflects native Windows development environment (I tried MS Visual Studio, just for fun, more header issues there). They just don't lack the headers, they lack functionality behind those headers too. > If somebody came to the busybox list and went "I want to build against > newlib+libgloss, but my build environment hasn't got these headers, I need you > to add them to the busybox source for me", there's no way we'd do that. Your > position is that Windows is different? Special? Windows is different (call it special if you want). Not a good thing though. I'd never work on Windows if I had a choice. -- Duy _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
