Re: [Jython-dev] Building Jython3

[Isaiah P. <is...@gm...>]

Hi,

Congratulation on the new release of Jython 2.7.

For the build issue on windows, it should be some jnr-posix call in
PosixModule not masked for windows platform.

Regarding gradle integration if we simply wants to fix the dependency
management, we could improve the ivy task that's already included in the
project.

I'll try to figure out today

Best,
Isaiah
