I made a quick try at this a few hours ago, but the script didn't get anywhere - couldn't link. That's using just the cygwin packages. Is there any documentation on building mingw binaries on cygwin? I read through the patch, don't see much to change (will reread closer shortly, since I'd like to be done with 2.8.5 today). > MingW now has msys, which should allow use of the configure script under > a pure MingW system, rather than using "-mno-cygwin" under a Cygwin bash > shell.
