t: Re: [Nova-developer] Win32 Port=0A=0AFirst it seems that fatigue was hit=
ting me when I said I couldn't find libnova.h, it is there as expected.=0A=
=0ASecond, I have been able to build the library in Visual Studio 2005 C++ =
:).  As much as I want to test the build I haven't been able to make the ti=
me yet but I plan to have some time very soon.=0A=0AThird, once I'm ready t=
o start submitting code to the CVS repository I would like to add 2 source =
and 2 header file, "libnova_win" and "libnova_c89". It will contain the c89=
 and win32 replacements to the posix and c99 math functions.  This brings u=
p two issues: 1, it is possible to make the library completely c89 complian=
t; 2, it is possible to replace all the non reentrant functions, in the win=
dows port, with ones that are through the extensions provided by Posix (for=
 the linux version) and Win32.  The current code can be replaced with the P=
osix ones and I can define the Win32 equivalent to substitute the identifie=
rs (ie #define strtok_r strtok_s).=0A=0AFourth, via define's  i've seen Win=
32 and __Win32__ I would propose we make it __LN__WIN32__ and __LN_C89__ .=
