My stuff is currently against dumpling, but from a brief browse of the commits it looks like we share some of the required changes. For win32 my current scheme is to just throw out all the configure and automake stuff and have a static makefile, so the build procedure is 'cd win32; make'. Do you think that's acceptable? I suppose the configure could be modified to work with a mingw32 cross compile under Linux, but it might be a bit of a stretch to make it work in mingw32 environment under Windows (or maybe it's easy... I've never used mingw32 under Windows). At this time the configure and Makefile stuff would need to be able to build only selective bits as a lot of stuff doesn't currently build under Windows, and some may never build... osd under windows would be a pretty big project for something with very limited appeal (imho) James _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
