Re: [ros-dev] Debian win32 port, file system, installer, ELF

[David Hinz]

Wasn't all this the original idea behind NT?
Running applications of the different OSs on as many different 
architectures as possible?
I think we don't have many problems, that need to be solved.
First, IFS has to support the UNIX-style of filesystems and second, the 
POSIX subsystem has to be more complete, so that it is able to run 
posix-compliant applications.

Greets,
