[ros-kernel] Re: Linux Tools

[Phillip S. <ps...@cf...>]

I don't think this answers James' question.  Mingw is not just a port of 
gcc, it is gcc built to support i386-pe as a target.  James wants to build 
gcc as a cross compiler so it runs on linux, but outputs i386-pe files.  I 
managed to get this working a few weeks ago, after many hours of 
toiling.  There does not seem to be a precompiled cross compiler out there, 
and building it was extremely difficult.  I ended up deciding it was more 
trouble than it was worth, and switched back to running win2k.
