The Cygnus system is actually quite interesting. They've added an emulation layer to Windows, so that the Gnu Unix tools find the "unix" environment they expect. It allows you to run the bash shell and the Gnu tools from within Windows itself, and compile to a Windows target. See http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Towers/6162/gcc.html for a good collection of information and links on Gnu development in Windows. -Noah Smc659@aol.com wrote: > > Jmlchief, > > No these compilers are meant for unix only, specificly those OS's that are > using ELF binaries.
