<p dir="auto">What should be our target is to have native building for each platform, i.e., with the native compiler so that it can be consumed by applications in that platform. cygwin is very far from that goal because it brings a very big run-time and very few native windows applications would even consider using it (if any). The mingw builds which we currently have are pretty ok and their output (dlls) can be consumed by native windows applications. What's the problem with this approach though is that we compile and test on Linux/wine, and that doesn't give a good assurance that the output DLLs would work as expected in a native windows system.</p>
