Hi,

There are also some features in the code that don't compile with
MinGW. They use API that MinGW does not provide headers for etc.

Ok. Is there already some list of known issues ?

Let me also point out that we definitely do not want to build
*locally* on Windows with GCC (MinGW). MinGW makes sense to us only
for cross-compilation. If one wants to build locally on a Windows
machine, use MSVC.

Why so ?

Note that when we say MinGW, we actually mean mingw-w64, a fork of
MinGW that provides a more complete set of headers and import
libraries for various Windows APIs. (Despite the "w64" in the name,
they do provide a tool-chain producing 32-bit code, too.)

Okay. Does it run under win32/cygwin ? cu -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards Enrico Weigelt VNC - Virtual Network Consult GmbH Head Of Development Pariser Platz 4a, D-10117 Berlin Tel.: +49 (30) 3464615-20 Fax: +49 (30) 3464615-59 enrico.weigelt@vnc.biz; www.vnc.de
