[ace-users] Compiling ACE with MinGw

[Johnny Willemsen]

Hi,

Thanks for using the PRF form. We as Remedy IT have maintained the MiNGW
port for a long time but we have ended this activity because of the lack of
funding for this work. We are searching for new funding to continue with
this work again. Maybe try to build a test from the distribution first and
see if that works.

Regards,
