OK. I really think that we can use the gnulib version of mkstemp, but surely someone else has encountered this and can perhaps provide guidance. Another option would be to add a gnulib module for tmpfile that replaces it with a non-broken one. > BTW, I probably would have used cygwin if the native ports of GTK were > only really designed to be used with mingw, and if I hadn't also > bumped into some cygwin related problems. I'm actually delighted to find that there's a way that I can compile for and debug a Windows version of PSPP without actually needing a Windows machine around. For one thing, it's always good to have another target to test against--the more systems your program works on, the more likely it is that it'll work without change on even more. -- God leaned close as mud as man sat up, looked around, and spoke.
