[XDB-users] Trying to install xbase-3.1.2 under windows

[<it...@it...>]

In short, I've spent the last hours trying to compile and use 
xbase-3.1.2 or earlier verisions with mingw32 and Dev-C++ respectively.

As for my pre-requisites in doing this...

I've used Dev-C++ before, but not in an advanced way.
If i have ever used a makefile before, i didn't know about it.

I've been trying to make sense of the notes inside the releases, some of 
the information in the mailing list and google to understand how to do, 
and once i realised i failed what i'm doing wrong.

What i have figured out right now is that makefile.g95 belongs to 
mingw32, however these files seems to be missing from 3.1.2. Same goes 
for another file mentioned in the mailing list. configw32.h or something 
such.

In general when i have tried run makefiles i've had complaints regarding 
no access, no such files and when trying to configure it through 
MSYS(first time using it) it claimed i had no suitable compiler even 
when aiming it directly at the minigw32 folder.

I suspect i've done more then one thing wrong, but if i could find out 
what to do when the files are missing it would be a start at least. :)

Thx in advance
