MinGW with native bash would be really cool. That way, I would have the same, and native, build environment on Linux, OSX, and Windows.

- xorblurb 11y agoWell, MSYS/MSYS2 lets do that today. It would just be more elegant to use native unported Linux binaries from an existing repository (which probably has more tools available too), but even with the low level syscall thing being solved, the other stuff MSYS fixes will reappear (mainly problems about path and environment translation, which is crucially important in build-sys). So we can guess it is at least not for the first version... Edit: reading your comment again, maybe you will be happy with building your windows exe with a MinGW cross compiler fully running under the Linux subsystem under Windows. That covers some needs, but not all. For example I really need to be able to e.g. launch cl from there with standard Makefiles and GNU Make.
