FWIW, I have been using the cygwin-provided MinGW64 environment for porting lighttpd to native Windows. It is the only working environment I found where I did not have to bootstrap everything from scratch. If one does not want to build everything statically and does not want to build one's own distro-like package management on top of Windows, one finds themselves SoL on Windows if one thinks Microsoft cares. Developing on Microsoft platforms is an awful experience for anything beyond a trivial app. Achim, thank you for your efforts on MinGW64 packages. Cheers, Glenn
