I had suggested to the fellow asking about running Asterisk in VMWare (It won't work BTW) that cygwin or mingw compilation might be possible and , in fact, feasible to use for a small IP-only setup. > As long as it doesn't take a huge huge performance hit from running out of > Cygwin, then I'll have a go there for a start First, you won't have zaptel timings from hardware on windows, so things like musiconhold and meetme will be out of the question. I suppose you could write something similar to zaprtc for windows if you really felt like squeezing your brain out your ears. Cygwin itself won't be the problem speed wise, as it is essentially providing native calls directly to the application, but I would suggest a couple things: 1) Find a way to set the thread priority for the asterisk processes high. I believe that you will probably have to write some code specific to Cygwin to do this. Normal priority execution on Win32 will probably not be good enough even for the transcoders and whatnot to get packets in and out in a timely fashon. 2) Please share any experiences you have with this project. I never intend to run asterisk on Win32 personally, but have been interested in seeing if it's possible for fun/hack value.
