As a followup to this: we're looking at moving to Windows XP w/ VS.Net
2008 as the new default Windows 32-bit build platform. Windows 2003 is
likely to remain the 64-bit Windows platform for quite some time. I do
expect that we will want to update the MS SDK on both platforms, so if
anyone is interested in working on that, it would be quite useful (i.e.
pick an MS SDK put out in the last year, and try building with that).
Also, Cygwin is the UNIX-ism platform of choice, and getting the JDK to
build solely with Cygwin (on both 32- and 64-bit, Win2k, WinXP, and
Win2003) would be a _huge_ deal. Particularly if someone can get JDK 6
and/or 5 to build using only Cygwin.
Um, I've been building both 7 and 6 with only Cygwin on XP (32 bit)
for the last couple of years. I think there was a bunch of fixes by
Kelly which addressed most cygwin-related problems (apart from
specific versions of 'make' and 'find' that has to be used).
Or did you have something else in mind?
Thanks,
Dmitri
