Hi,

Has anyone successfully compiled MicroWindows under Windows using VC++ or 
Mingw32 or Cygwin? Or would I be better off trying it out under Linux?

Thanks,

Julian

As well as the fact that you would have to write Windows input and display
drivers, you would also suffer from address space pollution problems if
you tried to build the Win32 API version of microwindows under the real
Win32.

Definitely.

A Red Hat employee who wants to develop Linux applications under Windows?

Right, good points...

Will do, then.

Er, yes, I suppose that might look a bit odd. I'm still most comfortable 
working under Windows, though I am the original author of a cross-platform 
GUI toolkit (http://www.wxwindows.org). My main job at Red Hat is to port 
an MFC app to Linux (using wxWin). Among other things I'm interested about 
the possibility of porting [a subset of] wxWindows to MicroWindows.

Many thanks for the tips.

Best regards,

Julian
