I need a some volunteers to work on DLLizing the lib directory of coreutils. Code is in CVS. If you're not listed as a MinGW developer you will be and you will be given access to the CVS. The purpose for this work will be to reduce the size of the executables in the coreutils package and to increase the speed of execution startup.

So yes - I'm interested, but what exactly does the work entail? I'm a competent 'C' programmer and I've used MinGW to create DLL's, but most of my MinGW work is creating command line programs so I'm not terribly familiar with Windows programming. Is this a problem? > Code is in CVS. If you're not listed as a MinGW developer you will > be and you will be given access to the CVS. I've never used CVS. Can anyone point me at a good tutorial and I'll do some reading. |

I've found this to be quite a useful reference: http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/OSDevWithCVS_3E.pdf There is also the `official' documentation. Google for `cederqvist', and you'll find many sources for it; this was first up for me: http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/ HTH, Keith. |
