I am trying to port RPM to cygwin32, which needs it. I have built 1.86, so I'm sure 1.85 is possible. I have not tested the btree, recno, or any advanced features, since my goal was to build DB_File for perl 5.004, and I'm stuck on dyna-loading. I'll try putting together a diff if you like. The main issues are: 1. Start with the linux makefile. 2. Remove the stuff about lorder and tsort from the ${LIBDB} rule. 3. Get a that defines __P, or use -D__P(a)=a. 4. Get , which defines macros such as CIRCLEQ_ENTRY. I borrowed this file from a linux distribution. 5. Add O_BINARY to the USE_OPEN_FLAGS in db.c, and OR the flags passed to dbopen with it. -John - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
