Initial Comment:

Hi there,

Currently all the packages do not have a clean build in
cygwin so that they can be up running.  Could somebody
work on this, or you are not going to support cygwin?

Thanks,

Yaxin

Hi Yaxin,

Cygwin is more trouble than it's worth.  I've currently been
working on getting rcssbase to build with scons, using the
MS compiler on windows.  The only problems I've run into
doing this is getting flex working properly (for some reason
on windows, numbers were being tokenised as strings; go
figure).  To overcome this, I'm now using the boost spirit
library instead (i've actually been meaning to do this for a
while).  I've just got little a bit more cleaning up to do
in the code, then rcssbase should be ready and I can move on
to rcssserver.

Cheers,
