Need to convince AJ of that. It would be nice to be able to do Mac
builds on Linux and vice versa. I don't like the problems that are
encountered using mingw32 for the testsuite when building it on Linux.
What problems are you referencing?
The fact that the test suite was not working properly if built using
mingw32 vice building it with MS tools. If this has been overcome, good
work for the devs.
It *IS* built daily by mingw32/64. Building on windows (last I
checked), doesn't fully work yet, though the test suite it much closer
than full wine (obviously).

As to testing, what needs to be done? I would like to
see a native
version of Wine for the Mac, vice the requirement to use X11. That of
course, may be years away (I worked with both the
NeoOffice.org and
OpenOffice.org projects with this. It was a multi-year adventure.)
Daily building from git, reporting broken compiles/compiler warnings
and running the test suite daily would do a lot of good. I've asked
this multiple times on wine-users and mentioned it it pretty much
every OS X related thread on -devel, but no one (with a mac) has done
anything about it.
