Dont listen to these ninnies. Mandrake is awesome.
Only thing from STOCK rom you have to add to your compile line is: -lcrypt This will add the crypt library. It should use GCC as the compiler. ROM was made for linux, and going to cgywin is porting it there, not vice versa. Some nice things, use the pthread functionality and get rid of delays like gethostbyaddr functions cause. Yes, Mandrake does rule :) One simple reason, version 8.1 has EXT3 installed. a Journaling File System(JFS) which provides fast reboots (no more scan disk or fsck) and a well robust system.
