[coLinux-devel] Mingw patch for CoLinux console/deamon

[Steven E. <ste...@ya...>]

Hello All,
Well here it is in all of its glory. All 5 lines of it. It works but we
(ReactOS team) have not tested it beyond booting the kernel.

There are a few changes that will need to be made before this can be
merged in and we can drop Cygwin I guess. But I beg and plead that we
do this so we can drop Cygwin totaly if we are not going to need it for
the Xserver.

1. The FLTK console wont build on the Mingw cross-compiler as we lack
support for it. I guess we could ship our own copy.

2. The user has to go download/install the mxml sources for the
mingw-crosscompiler. Once again its small we could ship this with the
coLinux sources.

3. You need to change i*86-cygwin-blah to -*86-mingw32-blah for all of
the commands in your makefile to support a mingw cross

4. We need to add some configure like checking for these headers I have
added the ifdefs for in this patch.

5. It links to ws2_32 but I have not tested the networking stuff so we
will have to adapt the rest to use use Winsock but it will still be
faster than using Cygwin->Winsock.

Thanks
Steven
