Windows is Windows is owned by Microsoft and this is a sad fact. The fact that OpenSC has windows specific stuff in it (like using the registry) is already a sign that we rely on the MS technology. PKCS#11 is cross-platform but we can't forget the environment where the cross- platform thing is used. Windows build needs work, true. One day I got annoyed as well and created a SCons file to build OpenSC. Unfortunately the end result of a clean build did not load in firefox and I have not checked OpenSC on Windows since that time. Maybe I should and we would have another competitor for the 'better windows build ecosystem' m. -- Martin Paljak http://martin.paljak.pri.ee +3725156495 _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
