Hi all, I've been trying to build libevent on win32 but am finding a few problems.
1) The VC6 workspace/projects in the 1.4.4 tar file are "corrupted" because they don't use CRLF line endings (VC6 and VC2003 refuse to open them, but easy fixed when you know the problem). 2) Once opened, libevent doesn't build in VC6 because of missing sys/time.h. This appears to be because although config.h is okay, the file event-config.h defines a heap of stuff that shouldn't be defined. 3) Win32-Code/misc.c is missing So the 1.4.4 stable release appears quite broken as released. Getting the latest from subversion I find: - VC6 has the same problems as 2 & 3 above. - opening the VC6 workspace/project in VC 2003 gives missing event2/util.h and event2/event.h errors - opening the VC2005 project builds libevent but with a number of serious stylistic warnings (e.g. void functions returning values. deleting const pointers. missing function definitions. mismatched signed and unsigned). Apologies if my problems are because I am using it incorrectly. I couldn't find a readme.win32 or similar file to let me know how to build, or what versions of compilers are required. The VC6 workspaces/projects made me assume that VC6 was still supported. I see from the list that some people at least are still using it. Would someone please clarify for me the current state of win32 support in libevent? Is it still beta and not designed to be used?
