I have a question for you. You stated: "Short of moving to a Linux=bases platform" I take it you have the "cygwinports" Successfully running in a Windows Environment. Could you please share, how to set-up cygwinports in Windows? I have Cigwin installed on my Win10 testing system at the moment, just have not done anything past the initial installation And the installing of the packages for compiling. Thanks.
