Re: [SIP-devel] next step: Windows porting

[Ricardo F. <rf...@gm...>]

Hi, Zhang,

nice that you tried. It is a slow process, don't get disappointed.
Let's try it little by little.

I don't get those annoying permisison denied errors you are getting.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to report the issue to MinGW mailing
lists or developers.
MinGW is supposed to be extremely stable.....

well, good luck, and feel free to work in any activity, although this
one is priority..
thanks,
