Re: [Quickfix-developers] Does quickfix build / run on cygwin?

[Scott K. <sc...@la...>]

I've used virtualbox on a linux host running windows XP. VMWare and
VirtualBox are popular solutions and I've heard they both have free options
that work well for both linux and windows hosts. The guest VM is exactly
like a physical computer, you use the standard install discs for whatever OS
you want to install, so quickfix should compile on the guest linux machine
with no problems. You can find a lot of information about them on the net.
Sometimes they have special software you can install on the guest that makes
certain things work more nicely. (On my virtual XP machine it made the mouse
respond more reasonably and gave more options for screen resolution, for
example)
