[mdb-dev] Hints: how to setup an environment to compile on Windows

[Cristiano S. <sum...@gm...>]

I would like to compile mdbtools on windows like a dll to bind it to PHP as
extension.
I would like try this on a Eclipse IDE using the gnu C compiler ported to
windows ( mingW32 http://www.mingw.org ).
The main reason to me do this is to port a small windows tool to convert MDB
file to DBF Unix on both ways.
That is why I using PHP language since I will have interpreters on both OS.
And on Linux side my option is to use this library.
This is also why I do not want to use windows readers for the access file.

Unfortunely I do not know how to create change configure scripts but If
someone point me the way I can read instructions.
Then try run configure under cygwin command line.
I downloaded the branch 0.6PRE from CVS into a Eclipse Project.
Or I do not know if would be better create an standalone GNUMakefile for
build on windows and just run make command.
