Stallings II" Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII To: www-lib AT w3c DOT org Cc: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Greetings, Lists! Just in case anybody gives a rats ass ;p I finally made some ground with lib-www on my win95 machine. The big stroke, as it turns out, is to use cygwin32 from cygnus (www.cygnus.com). This is a really decent piece of work, and when tweaked to perfection provides a unix-like environment in which to operate gcc (and other software) that is good enough to twist this win95 box into an eerie mix of M$W and bash$. Toss in some good support binaries for awk, grep, and sed, and I was able to generate config.h and compile most of the library source without trouble. The compile eventually crashed with a complaint about 'timezone' not being defined. I did have to tweak an apparently dain-bramaged bit of the 'configure' script that seemed to prevent building for anything but SunO$ architecture; I didn't quite get that one. An interesting note: when it exited, it did so on a SIG33. It claimed an internal compiler error. I'd be interested to know what exactly a SIG33 represents. Any Takers? Cheers to you all! -James ....
