[gentoo-user] Gentoo on Cygwin

[Nils Andresen]

Hi,
I kind of stumbled across http://gentoocygwin.sourceforge.net/ -
sounds interesting...
Since there is no "News" after 2003 I did not try to install... (need
a vm first...)
Does anyone know about the project? Is it dead?

Nils

I also recall this thread: 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/234159

Not sure how far that guy got with it.

He was somewhat successful in emerging @system, then he wrote the wiki 
article :)

Alex,
have you re-tried lately?
I fail during emerging baselayout-prefix. The error is
> start-stop-daemon.c:64:4: error: #error Unknown architecture - cannot build start-stop-daemon

Any ideas?

Although I like the idea very much, I never tried this myself. I only know 
that Al posted some questions here and told about his plan, and I see that 
he wrote the wiki article.

Ok, thanks.
I'll keep trying then ;-)
