Is it impractical to attempt to use Sandia SST on Windows?

[John Clinton]

I know it's not an officially supported platform but since I'm stuck using Windows (and not using Cygwin) for my project I'm wondering how bad the effort by me to adapt to Windows would be. I assume at least someone has considered doing this but haven't found any information.

I'm also curious if there is any information out there comparing SystemC to Sandia SST with both features and types of projects that differentiate them. My application relates to modeling various hardware and firmware in a disk drive to help evaluate new ideas and how they relate to performance and maybe power at a high level (not remotely cycle time accuracy).

Thanks,
John
