Well, thanks for the pointer, But as far as I can see there, it's a

what I really hoping for, is to compile and run 3.1 normally on windows.
Well, 2.7 may cut it as well since I need mostly existing features,
but I can't get it compile correctly either. And current 2.7 windows
version requires to compile under vc6, is just impossible these days.

I'm surprised no one has been taking on squid on windows seriously (or
I didn't find it), but by far, most proxy software I tried on windows
have different problem, while squid is the best atm I think.


There is work underway (slowly) on getting Squid up to at least build
again on Windows.

The more active upstream dev (myself and Francesco Chemolli) only have
access to MinGW test machine and are blocked by a few bugs which we need
to be diagnosed and patch created by someone with direct access to a
MinGW setup (http://bugs.squid-cache.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3203 and
http://bugs.squid-cache.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3043).


UPDATE. We have managed to identify and fix bug 3203 now. I'm back into fixing minor build issues again, but 3043 remains a problem.

Guido Serassio has better access but no time to work on it (sponsorship
to recompense for his taking time off work will help a lot there,
contact him about it).

AFAIK none of us have access to recent VC versions (Guido mentioned
something about the new IDE versions causing major pains in the build
process).

Patches on 3.HEAD code to get Windows going are *very* welcome.
