Hello Anders, Thanks for the reply, and the links. I made small steps today:
- Uncrusify everobode and added a pre-commit hook so the space problems
should not araise anymore.
- I worked on the AppVeyor platform today:
- I finally understood how to use MSYS2 to run autogen & configure
scripts,
- To use the Visual right compiler
... but are currently stuck because cl.exe does not understand C99
options that configure wants to try...
--> Question:
- Do we really need a fully compliant C99 compiler ?
- Is there a mean to tell configure that CL is good enough ?
Thanks again !
