It is amazing to hear all this.

Are you really serious ?

Do you want to port TeX (I use TeX on DOS/Win), GCC, X Windows and the rest
all this to offers an enviroment to port later TeXmacs for Windows?

Wouch!

Good Luck!

I strongly advice that you use your time in a more productive mode.

Download a Linux version. Install it.

It is also possible that you found a Linux CD together/inside a magazine.

Thanks,
Giovanni.

PS. X Window fonts and TeX fonts are different. All this had been designed
basically for UNIX systems.
