[Noffle-devel] Noffle now builds on non-Linux systems

[Jim H. <jim...@ac...>]

As a result of being stuck with just a W2k laptop and nothing do to for an
evening, I tried building Noffle under Cygwin with GCC 3.2. Initially it
didn't build. However, after some minor source tidies (including clearing up
some new warnings that did point to potential portability hazards), I got it
building on Cygwin. Flushed with that success, I've now got it configuring and
building on all the SourceForge compile farm platforms as well; that's Linux
x86/Sparc/Arm/Alpha, MacOS X, FreeBSD and Solaris.

I haven't tried seeing if Noffle actually works on these platforms, though. I
do run it on Linux/Sparc myself, so I know that works.

It does give warnings on some platforms still, due mostly to bad system header
files.
