Can MingW compile itself under react OS?

[Kenneth Long]

Hi,

I'm a newbie here. This is a really cool project.

I was wondering MingW can compile itself under reactOS, then take the
new compiled version, and compile it self again and generate a stable
MingW tool chain can
it then build the ReactOS system?

Sort like doing a "emerge -system" in Gentoo's Portage?

Thanks, 
Ken

We don't have it automated if thats what you mean. It should be possible as one of our developers
has a ReactOS build box where he tests building ReactOS on ReactOS so I assume making a
self-hosted mingw should work.

Thanks
