I don't think this is possible. glibc is closely tied to the linux kernel (or GNU HURD) and porting it to windows would be essentially impossible, or at least very hard. MSYS is a fork of an old version of Cygwin and related tools. Cygwin uses newlib for its C library, not glibc. Maybe you should explain what the end goal you're trying to accomplish is. If you're trying to port unix/posix software to windows, then Cygwin is very capable. But that's not really on-topic for this list, which is about building cross-compiler toolchains. Now, if you want to build a windows-hosted toolchain that targets the linux kernel and glibc, that is very possible and crosstool should be able to whip you one up easily. But that is not what you asked, or if that is what you're asking you need to rephrase. Brian ------ Want more information? See the CrossGCC FAQ, http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC/ Want to unsubscribe?
