I am happy to help if you run into specific issues. If you decided to 
build SWI Prolog in the end from source, please note I've recently added 
a host build of cmake to Rtools42. The Berkeley db is part of MXE and 
can trivially be added to Rtools42 if you need it (simply would be 
listed in settings.mk, running "make db" succeeds on my system, 
producing libdb.a). Libuuid is already part of Rtools42.

Best
Tomas

Ihave been bugging Tomas in private email for a bit and figured it might beuseful to spread the load a little.Is anybody else looking into this?  Any interest in pooling resources aroundsome virtual meeting place? New mailing list? Or an ad-hoc slack (or channelon existing one)?DirkPS My current status:- MXE installed on Ubuntu as cross-compilation. Pretty straightforward.- One initial test build (using cmake) failed:     fatal error: Windows.h: No such file or directory- Another of a known cmake-using library (nlopt) succeeded.
