[Mingw-users] MinGW clarification (warning MinGW newbie)

[Alvin B. <ab...@de...>]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for some clarification of MinGW. Perhaps someone can help me with 
the following questions:

1. For example, say I have a GTK application that I developed under and for 
Linux. Can MinGW compile the GTK program for a win32 system and have it run 
just like it would under Linux?

2. What low-level support does MinGW offer? For example, say I have code 
written for Linux that access a piece of hardware using a block/character 
device under /dev. Will it still compile with MinGW?

3. Is interprocess communication possible between a GTK and a Win32 
application? For example, via a named pipe, etc.

Thank you for any insight you can give me.
