It seems that a number of listers are attempting this build. I've been attempting to build with Cygwin and Mingw concurrently, and have had at least 3 cases where my computer has locked solid (Windows XP Pro, SP3). The only things that would react at all are the touch buttons, e.g. wireless on/off, volume up/down, and mute. Even number-lock would not work. Sometimes the screen is blank; at other times the screen is normal, except that nothing reacts at all, not even the mouse cursor. This is extremely rare for me. As an experiment, I've started only the Cygwin build this time, and so far the computer has not locked up. Of course, this could be other software; I'm suspicious of Firefox for example, but it's possibly because it's the software I use the most, and so is most likely the one I'm interacting with when the computer freezes. I'd be interested to hear if others have experienced this lockup. I suspect that most users will have more recent operating systems than Windows XP, and might therefore not experience the same lockup. I started with a late 2010 version of MinGW, but updated many components today to the 2011 release. The most recent lockup was after this update. I noticed that after one of the restarts, Cygwin was no longer in the path, so I had to download a few extra packages (e.g. patch) which must previously have been sourced from Cygwin late in the $PATH. Cygwin: CYGWIN_NT-5.1 hp_laptop 1.7.7(0.230/5/3) 2010-08-31 09:58 i686 Cygwin MinGW: MINGW32_NT-5.1 HP_LAPTOP 1.0.16(0.48/3/2) 2010-09-29 00:07 i686 Msys (but updated beyond this today as noted above). - Mike
