So you understand the problem. "Native" isn't the issue. Our stuff is developed using tools that follow documented standards. If your windows box has a a standards compliant compiler for C and C++, guile, make, python, m4, shell, ...... no problem. It's not my fault that Microsoft trashes standards. > > We need someone to step up and do that for MS-Windows. How about > > you? > I am not a user of the system needing a port.

We need a regular windows user to step up to the task. That is when it will happen. Or maybe if they are willing to fund the work. It would be nice to get some funding ........ It's really a cultural thing. Free software is all about community. MS-Windows all about money. _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
