Hello,
I try to setup Gentoo Prefix on Cygwin. Cygwin is a POSIX layer on
windows. That means that the environment is POSIX but the binaries are

Now I wonder which CHOST to set in this case. What does it describe,
the environment or the file format?

Al
I don't know who this fellow Al is, but he seems to have a stuck idea from 10+
years ago. Gentoo doesn't have a newsgroup probably because Gentoo users do
not want one.
My father hasn't internet at all and he doesn't miss it. There are
even people that can't read. They don't miss

make only sense, if it is fully synchronized with the existing lists.

A risk is always potential. A potential risk is when you are not sure

that you were looking for a

You know Gentoo != Linux. But there is an intersection.

Perhaps you'd be better off asking in a Cygwin/Windows forum than a
Linux one?
Again, Gentoo != Linux.
But, you are right to suggest the Cygwin list. I didn't anticipate
that such a tool would depend on the kernel architecture. The posix
layer is there.
Al
You're running Gentoo Windows?
Yes I do.
Gentoo is Linux but it is not windoze. I have asked a question or two on
Gentoo is not Linux. Gentoo is a community and a build tool.
The build tool depends on bash. It does not depend on the Linux kernel.

Only Gentoo/Linux is Linux. If you run Gentoo on a diffrent kernel it

If you run GNU on a different kernel it is still GNU, but it is not
Linux any more.

I understand that Al, but you must keep context in mind here. This
