Iff you can get your final image to contain native windows binaries only |
| 13 |
(depends on the packages you need to provide there), you could use some |
| 14 |
enterprise or server edition as build environment, which does "cross"-compile |
| 15 |
(well, somehow) the native windows part. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
But still, the native windows part has very limited abilities: |
| 18 |
We do not build bash (and many others) as native windows binary, so without |
| 19 |
Interix you won't be able to use any shell-scripts, or do anything with |
| 20 |
unix-like paths. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
OTOH: In theory(!) it should be possible to use any POSIX emulation layer |
| 23 |
such as Cygwin or even MinGW instead of Interix... |
