Re: Cygwin 64-bit compilation experience?

OK, having looked into the whole intl-encap-win32 situation, I took a deep breath and started fresh, first of all with the goal of getting make unicode-encapsulate to work. This is a complex exercise which reprocesses intl-encap-win32 against /usr/include/w32api and builds the necessary shims in intl-auto-encap-win32.{c,h}. I believe I've now done the minimum necessary to achieve that, in the face of considerable evolution in the w32api header files. I've sent to xemacs-patches the current state of my efforts, which allow temacs to run, a 64-bit build to complete successfully, and the result to run -nw. As I have done _nothing_ yet to track down usages of (int) to hold pointers, not surprisingly running w/o -nw crashes in ...-msw code. I'm sending this now as a baseline starting point, in case it's useful to others, and in the hopes that someone who knows the intl-encap stuff a bit will review the changes I've made in that area (including some rather brute-force patching of make-mswin-unicode.pl) and let us all know if they will do, or if a more thoroughgoing rework is required. I also need to sanity-check what I've done by doing a 32-bit build, but the day job is in the way of that for the time being. ht -- Henry S.
