[ooc-compiler] oo2c for cygwin/win9x

[Stewart G. <sgr...@ip...>]

Hi Folks,

It seems that there is an issue running oo2c with cygwin/win9x. Although it
seems to work properly under Windows NT/2000, cygwin does not support unix
rename semantics under Win9X. Open files cannot be renamed, so the compiler
falls over in stage 1 which registering files.

The solution for mingw32 also addresses this problem. A replacement
lib/Files.c is included here:

  http://espc22.murdoch.edu.au/~stewart/files/oo2c_cygwin-20010524.tar.gz

I suggest that this file replace lib/Files.c in the standard distribution.
The same Files.c also works for mingw32.

Thanks Ulrich for your patience with this problem. I have not noticed this
as I only work with NT flavours of Windows. I'm surprised that nobody else
has mentioned this problem before.

Cheers,
  Stewart
