Hi all, FWIW: I'm being told that M$ Virtual PC 2004 is capable of emulating a HD (FD, CD an NIC) and that one can install a Linux distro.
You can have a look at http://vpc.visualwin.com/. Not all *nix distro's are supported though. YMMV and haven't done that, haven't been there. Just my EUR 0.02 Kind regards, Bert Timmerman. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Larrie Carr Sent: zaterdag 4 februari 2006 19:17 To: geda-dev@seul.org Subject: Re: gEDA: building under cygwin Not a test to see if everything was working - a test if guile is working properly under cygwin (Alex's comment). I've run through about 3 test cases (examples on the network) and have found the only hard to fix problem being the shifting libraries names and footprints. gschem, gnetlist, gsymbols, gerbv and pcb all seem to be playing nice. pcb over tightvnc is a little rough, but I can live without that.
