It's not impossible.
Funnily enough, my original goal was just to get WinUAE working on Linux and
then get the changes merged into the WinUAE tree. The end. I never wanted to
be a maintainer of yet another separate UAE source tree. Somehow, I suddenly
got interested in supporting a bunch of other platforms besides Linux (and
having a lot of fun doing it).
Howver, since the goal of WinUAE is not portability, it takes a lot of time
and effort to get the various updates to WinUAE working and tested on the
platforms that E-UAE now supports.
So, while doing a full merge with WinUAE is not impossible and is definitely
not undesirable, I don't have the time to do this currenlty. It's going to
take more people working on this than just me.
As a start, I would like to get E-UAE buildable with Mingw (at least against
SDL). Configure support is partially there, but I haven't tested it in a long
time.
Cheers,
Rich
