I can confirm what Ingo just wrote, and I too share his preference of
building under Linux (Ubuntu in my case) and testing under VMWare
Player (I assume you meant that, Ingo ?).


And I'll at least throw in that it's probably not worth trying to get
the build system to run on Windows (Cygwin) - so far the various
attempts have ended in a "broken linker" shipped with Cygwin and it
would be much faster/easier to just install Linux and build from
there.
