Xmingwin For Cross Generation Applications
An anonymous reader writes "Xmingwin makes it practical to generate Windows programs from a Linux server. This column gives a recipe for setting up Xmingwin, outlines the most important reasons for doing so and shows you how to generate executables for multiple platforms -- including Windows DLLs -- from a single Linux source."
"I have to go", I said, getting up and pulling my pants on. Natalie Portman
turned over in my bed, looking mournfully at me. I walked over some hot grits
and into the kitchen. Why on earth was that woman so blissfully ignorant of my
dark secret? The signs were there, and in my humble opinion, they were pretty
obvious. The History log was cluttered with slashdot comments and the desktop
wallpaper was a painting by Theodor Kittelsen. Come on!
There were stacks of warez and pr0n, but none had been touched for ages. No, I
had other hobbies. Dark undertakings. Evil distractions. Things so horrible that
even Voldemort would be ashamed. I stared into my coffee. It was black like my
tainted soul. Would Natalie leave me if I told her? Would she call the police?
I felt naked and petrified. The grains of sugar I poured into my coffee, so
white and pure, being disolved by the darkness. They seemed to slow down, as to
rub in the choice I had made long ago. Did I want +1 Interesting? or maybe
Insightful? No. I didn't want any Informative or Funny moderations. I was young
and reckless, and I still regret it.
I would blame society, I would blame education, but I have no one to blame but
myself. As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for
I am one of them.
I am a troll.
Xing man this baby!
/. is the S0X.
Seriously though,
Windows generates Linux!
Usually programs like these are buggy, and it does not work 100% on both systems (look at WINE for example). Since this is not the same "idea" it could be good, but i guess it will take time before people start using it fully.
Note to self: get smarter troll to guard door.
That's like asking "How many times are you willing to stick your schlong into the diseased whore for the common good?" Everyone having their fingers in something doesn't make it good. It makes it filthy. Linux is a salad bar without a sneeze gaurd.
