Re: [Aegisvm-devel] Win32 port of JPR

[Philip F. <pw...@us...>]

Hi Gildas,

I am trying to process your win32 port.  Need to ask you for help with
some configuration stuff.

1. I set up the mingw environment on my winME box.  Somehow the cvs
   from msysDTK hangs whenever I perform cvs operations.  It kind of
   performs the operation, but then does not known how to shut down.
   Have you experienced this anomaly before?  I could have lived
   with WinCVS, but it is also buggy (it does not do cvs release),
   and I would hope to get my familiar command line cvs working. :-)
2. If I understand correctly, the patch to libffi is only for building
   libffi with MSVC and for cross-compiling from linux.  So, I tried
   building a cvs version of libffi without your patch on mingw, but
   the configure script does not seem to be working on the mingw
   environment.  What I am asking is, which snapshot of libffi are
   you using (e.g. date tag)?  Would it be because I am using the
   wrong snapshot?

Thanks for your help.  I am really eager to merge your work into
the cvs tree. :-)
