Hello,
I've been using gcc on several variations of Unix for a little over 2 years
(thanks!!) and now am working on porting the application to NT. I have a
PowerPC
running NT but am having significant problems finding binaries of various
gnu applications for the platform. I'm planning on buying an Intel platform
for the project, getting the required packages running  and then porting/moving
them to the PowerPC platform.  At least I can get binaries for gcc on Intel/NT.

I'd like to set up a development environment on the PowerPC that supports
cross-compiling for other NT platforms - namely Alpha and Mips.  I understand
I'll need to keep the compilers, libraries separated etc but what other tips
can this community provide?

I'm aware of the Cygnus gnu-win32 project and plan to use what I can but I'm
not interested in creating a complete U*ix environment on the NT platforms
so I doubt I'd use bash - I use csh on Unix anyway.

I expect I'll need ports of gcc and configure to get started. I have Visual
Slick Edit on the PowerPC and will get a copy for Intel and use the native
nmake and debugger.

Other suggestions?

Thanks,
Ray Drueke
