To be pedantic, we only ever officially supported XP64 as the base OS, which is the 32-bit equivalent of Server 2003. 32-bit XP is actually on an older kernel than 2k3 and XP64. Also, to be more pedantic... the OP talks about applications built to run on older systems. You can certainly change the header in your own version and build for an older system and it should work. You're just on your own for support. _______________________________________________ Mingw-w64-public mailing list Mingw-w64-public@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-w64-public
