Compile Ubuntu in Windows (Dare)

[jjmutumi]

Hello. Simple brain teaser for you guyz. What happens if you compile Ubuntu in mingw or SFU etc. Do you get a win32 binary compartible Ubuntu?

Windows doesn't have any of the GNU toolchain, so Linux will simply will not compile under windows

You'd need to install a full POSIX environment on windows, including all the GNU utilities (Eg. a full Cygwin install) in order to compile the kernel
