Our win32 support is indeed MSVC-centric, for the two reasons that (a) that's what pretty much all of our win32 developers use and (b) apr typically attempts to do things in the "most native" way on a given platform. That said, APR does build on cygwin (or at least it used to at some distant point in the past), so I see no reason why it shouldn't be made to build on mingw. > I have managed to build all the DLLs with minor patches to the *.hw. Feel free to submit those patches, appropriately #ifdef'ed so that they won't break the msvc build (or if you submitted them already and we missed them, please give us a pointer to them again).
