Hey,
I have produced a set of makefiles for a native windows binaries.
You do need cygwin to run 'make' (the makefiles are for GNU make). The
makefiles use the Microsoft compiler.
Could you get a copy of the latest snapshot and try and do the
build? I'll work with you to get it fixed if it's still broken.
We've tested older snapshots of HtDig compiled Win32 native and
run nearly a million documents through it....
If this doesn't satisfy your needs, I'd be willing to put in some
time looking at the cygwin build.
Neal Richter.
