Hmm, another problem is that I don't think there is a flex port for MinGW --- at least I remember someone saying they found bison, but not flex, so if they grab the snapshot, they will not be able to use CVS to do development and diffs.
Actually, if I recall that same thread, one person mentioned downloading a MinGW bison port, and then could build flex no problem using that ...
Basically, I agree with Tom ... if we are going to go the extra steps to support Win32, at least the Win32 ppl can do is take the extra steps to build using the same 'restrictions' as the Unix ppl go through ...
Well, the files are in there now --- I might as well just leave them so they don't have to go through that. This MinGW environment is much more limited than a Unix environment --- no bison, flex, cvs, or perl.
You should really consider using MSys (the development environment by one of the MinGW developers). It offers bash,perl,cvs,ssh,libtool,auto* and more in 3+9MB. I can't imagine porting anything from unix to Windows without that environment. It should even offer bison+flex.
