Yes, anything based on the Apple SDK seems like it will be a no-go. However, when I looked at this last time I concluded that using odcctools[1] we could _almost_ build a working binary. The only missing part is a small runtime library - literally a few hundred lines of assembly code - which is under an old Apple license that is incompatible with Fedora. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-legal-list/2009-February/msg00009.html BTW all of the above was last discussed on this list here: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fedora-mingw/2009-February/000540.html Rich. [1] odcctools is free software, albeit with several technical and social problems of its own. It lacks a single upstream source, and it only builds on 32 bit, because the code contains many 32 bit assumptions. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones New in Fedora 11: Fedora Windows cross-compiler.
