Hello Frank, Ian and Elliott Slaughter helped me already to at least can compile some time ago under Windows/Cygwin the BDB 4.7, but we stuck in other problems. I have LW 6, so - if I can help in any way to test - please let me know - just my C/C++ knowledge is pretty dusty and I got stuck in a couple of situations which I can't resolve so quickly as I would wish.
>From what I did until yet - there is actually no problem with the Elephant/Lisp source for running BDB under LWW 5 and 6, but only compilation problems of the libberkeley-db.c - compiling it under Cygwin (1.5) has the prolem, that ssize_t is declared differently in BDB and Cygwin/GCC which even after successsful compilation brings problems with pointer alignment if I understand the problem correctly. I couldn't manage to solve the problem enought quick. Compiling elephant under VC++ 2008 brings te problem (except the whole cration of a valid Win32-DLL project aroound it and moving a lot of declarations around to can work with VC++ 2008) that "errno" used as parameter in some of the libberkley-db.c functions should be renamed to something which doesn't clash with the "errno"-POSIX-macro - otherwise one sees a disassembly of a statement like "*errno = 13" translated to "call [_errno]" in assembler in producing "Illegal memory exception"s... After correcting that (with the help of the LW team) I got some "Bad pointer" errors from BDB after having created a BDB-database, for which I didn't had enoght time - curently I use cl-prevalence as a interim solution until BDB works again under Windows. So - again - if I can help (with preferrably the Lisp part and LWW6) somehow after one manages to compile the libberkeley-db.c in a correct way - please let me know - I would be happy to can use Elephant again.
