So, after half-a-day of editting, got it to compile, but failing very
quickly at the Windows / window startup phase. Clearly a bunch of
32->64-bit pointer issues, which I tried but pbly failed to address.
Anybody interested in hearing what I tried/helping at all, or is this
a lost cause? The fingerprints on the relevant files (...-msw.c,
...encap-win32.c at least) are hugely stale, i.e. Ben Wing in 2000.
This is definitely not a lost cause. I should probably have responded
sooner. I have wrestled quite a bit with the 32-bit Cygwin build; when
Corinna or Jon changed the mswin interface files, things were broken for
awhile. I've been meaning to get around to updating the encap-win32 files.
They are updated by a makefile target, which, as you have identified, has
not been run in awhile. I don't have a 64-bit Cygwin to try out your
changes on, but I'm happy to try your changes on my 32-bit Cygwin
environment to make sure you didn't break anything there.
Please send your diffs along.
Thank you,
Vin
