Hi all,
I've started trying to port dpkg natively to Windows (as opposed to
using Cygwin).
One area that may cause problems is that Windows doesn't have fork
functionality, so implementing m_fork() will be challenging.
You could try using glib for that.
http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/2.14/glib-Spawning-Processes.html
It might be worth using glib to spawn child processes, to reduce
os-specific code in dpkg, however this does mean introducing glib as a
dependency, which may or may not be desirable.
I'll move this conversation over to the dpkg list, as this seems more of
a general dpkg design issue than a Win32 specific one.
