about "[vorbis-dev] win32 question":

JS> But this runs into the same argument as getopt()/getopt_long() -- we
JS> *shouldn't* provide it if the underlying system already has it.

Well, yes, we shouldn't if it exists. Thats why it is in #ifdef win32
branch.

JS> Do you run ./configure for these compilers?

Ohh.. I'm fucking for two hours with configure for binutils trying to
compile ld with elf support. Under win2k it seems quite impossible.

    ^^^^^^^ MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows
JS> MVC++           ?               no
JS> borland         ?               no
                    ^ - I presume they don't have pathconf, yet I'm
                    not so sure.

JS> Any other relevant win32 compilers?

Cygwin, OpenWatcom (to come).... prolly, not.

JS> How about mac?

Can't say anything 'bout Macs.

For two hours I hate configure, porting, compilers and computers in
general.

keep in touch. berk.
