Hi Philip, Exactly my point. If I were only a part time Linux user or an ocational Linux user I wouldn't bother taking the time and energy upgrading the engine to be cross-platform. Obviously I could have saved myself time, effort, and a bunchof added bugs just by sticking with Windows. However, since I use Linux 90% of the time for e-mail, watching movies, listening to music, and all the other things I do I feel it is worth the price to be able to have games on that platform as well. As for what you can do I don't know of anything at this point, but if something comes up I'll let you know. About the only thing I can think of is if worse comes to worse I might ask for a copy of Streemway that works with MinGW so I don't have to depend on using Visual Studio Pro to cross-compile my software. However, we can cross that road when we come to it.
