[htdig-dev] Native Win32 Port?

[Neal R. <ne...@ri...>]

Hello,
	Back in late Feb 2000 there was a thread about a patch for a
Native Win32 port for building with native compilers.

	There's a patch out there that pretty rusty.

	Is anyone doing anything like that still?

	Cygwin is OK, but it's one more moving part and I'm not even sure
if you can use cygwin to produce a native windows DLL.

	This project looks interesting...

MinGW is a collection of header files and import libraries that allow one 
to use GCC and produce native Windows32 programs that do not rely on any 
3rd-party DLLs. The current set of tools include GNU Compiler Collection
(GCC), 
GNU Binary Utilities 
(Binutils), GNU debugger (Gdb)
, GNU make, and a assorted other utilities. We are currently working on 
creating a complete set of Mingw-hosted GNU toolchain, and looking for 
volunteers.
