Re: [Rlib-users] Windows version

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Hi,

RLIB for windows keeps comming up... so it's time that this issue gets
solved

1st let me give you all a little history:

Origionally, RLIB was a was designed as a PHP/MySQL only reporting
library... well.. that didn't last long... SICOM (RLIB's Main Sponsor)
needed a reporting engine to work in C, and have a pluggable input
method.. So I split the PHP stuff out of rlib core.. made it into
bindings.. and split the MYSQL stuff out into an input method.. Then
around that time Everton Luis Berz showed up in the RLIB community and
asked fro Postgresql support.. I never used postgre.. but I added in
support for it anyway.... so now we have support for 2 languages, 2
databases, and 4 output formats.. well.. then some other dude came along
and wanted Informix support... I started working on Informix bindings..
then I said.. scew that.. Next week someone else will want <<Insert
DataBase Here>> input methods.. so I wrote a ODBC input method.. Now
rlib supports 2 languages, 20 databases, and 4 output methods.. Then
John Buckman came along and pointed me @ swig.. RLIB Python support
came.. and Java and Perl are soon to follow (about a month away).. Now
we support 5 languags, 20 datababases, and 4 output methods...
then the different platforms came.. Different flavors of Linux, the 3
BSD's Other Unix's.... and patches started rolling in.. This is been
most helpful getting rlib truly portable.. sweet!!

As an asside Once we get RLIB 1.2 out the door the plan for RLIB 1.4
will be graphing, report parts (ie.. reports in reports).. and a free
flow layout engine..=20

Now Imagine a report engine that works in 5 langages, has support for
all popular databases, multiple outputs.. and works on all major
computig platforms.. sweet eh?

I cc'd people asking for windows and the whole list hoping SOMEONE out
there knows enough c to do the port.. here's what I know.. glib2 and
cpdf already work on windows...and I'm 99% sure libxml2 works on windows
also.. so I need someone to help me out... I think because of all the
portability stuff we did for other UNIX's the windows port will be "not
that bad"... so here's the call for help.. somone please please please
make RLIB work on windows.. and you get extra points if you make a
windows installer for it.. maybe the nullsoft thingie.. Chet and I will
provide any assistance you might need.....

Thanks

- Bob
