Hi Vinod I have the windows exe that can be used to make the stubs from the .thrift files and I can build the csharp assembly. My problem is with the cpp stuff for windows, I am assuming that there is a library(static?)that I need to link to from my application (actually a COM object) and due to the requirements of .NET on 32 and 64 bit platforms I need to make 32 and 64 bit versions of that library to linkin with the 32/64 bit version of the COM object. Will I be able to compile windows compatible libraries in both 32 and 64 bit using cygwin? Shaun
