OK, you're welcome: I just sent you the files via private mail.
Thanks. Nice consolidated patches. :-)
I have just uploaded it to
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lzip/plzip/
Would it be possible to incorporate the pread/pwrite
implementations of Hannes Domani into MinGW? This would solve the
problem not only for plzip.
Sounds like a good idea. But as it is your project and Hannes Domanis
contributed code, I'm out of that game. One of you two should trigger
that step. Would that be possible?
I have added it to my todo list. I'll try to convince the MinGW people
to accept the code.
Side note: Looking closely it seems that your goal is already missed:
-> ALL of your lzip-like projects already incororate Windows
specific code.
A little inaccuracy sometimes saves tons of explanation. ;-)
By "Windows code" I meant "an appreciable amount of ugly Windows code
that may cause maintenance problems in the future". A few macros and a
small fragment like:
#if defined(__MSVCRT__) || defined(__OS2__)
setmode( STDIN_FILENO, O_BINARY );
setmode( STDOUT_FILENO, O_BINARY );
#endif
that is not even Windows specific, does not qualify as Windows code.
Best regards,
Antonio.
