does anyone have been able to successfuly use libarchive on windows?
I'm using gcc 3.2.3, libarchive 1.02.019 and I have trouble using it...
 
first the uid_t and gid_t type used in archive_entry.h are not defined on windows (on UNIXes they are user id and group id number).
but I worked around this problem by typedefining them before including the header, like that:
------
typedef long uid_t;
typedef long gid_t;
#include <archive_entry.h>
------
 
then it compiles but when I try to create and save some content to a new archive it output me this error message:
Archive write header error Numeric user ID too large: Result too largeNumeric group ID too large: Result too largetar format cannot archive this (mode=08740): Unknown error
 
even though I create a struct stat, I set setructStat.st_uid & st_gid to 1 (and 0, I tried both) and set it as archive_entry_copy_stat()
 
any idea?
