How about mysql ;-)

The only systems that would be able to run such a port would be high-end QL systems (ie 040+060) according at least to Thierry's account. That would immediately leave out emulators users except for users of UAE+QDOS Classic unless Daniele and Marcel do some fiddling with their emulation cores :-)
Thierry's site implies this work was done by Richard Zidlicky, Jonathan Hudson, Thierry himself and Dave Walker as consultant.
Isn't there a cross compiler version of C68 running on DOS(?) or Unix too (the name XTC68 seems to spring to mind)?
Correct. Three editions exist (although I haven't been able to find the most recent versions (C68 v. 4.24f):
XTC68NT (For Windows NT/2000/XP/.NET)
XTC68DOS (For MS/Free/DR/PC/DOS)
XTC68LINUX (For Linux) (Also runs on Free/NET/OpenBSD/Solaris and other BSD OSes if recompiled -or on x86 based architecture BSD OSes if Linux Binary Compatibility is enabled).
I had recompiled a significant portion of C68 to run under Windows in combination with the Bloodshed IDE and SourceEDIT (See articles on QLT) but sadly I lost the sources (still got the binaries though). Dave had promised me to send me the most recent VC 6.0 compliant sources however he's obviously very busy. It is a shame though because compiled with .NET it would work really fast in a variety of architectures including MONO (A .NET compatible framework) - which also means that it would be able to run on a PocketPC!
Mind you however, with very little fiddling, XTC68NT will work great with Bloodshed's IDE and if you upgrade the libraries you can immediately produce binaries even NOW using a great IDE, DEBUGGER etc...
