Hi All, Just wondering if one of our C++ specialists would be willing to opt in to work with Steve getting started on this piece ?
I think it'd be really helpful, especially if we're fortunate enough to also get a submission from the GSoC route which we've also proposed this item for. Thanks Steve - this will also be a great opportunity to get some feedback/input from someone new to the project, particularly on the build documentation etc. Thanks & Regards, Marnie On 3/14/08, Steve Huston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Martin, > > > On 13/03/2008, Steve Huston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > I'm just getting going looking into Qpid for an upcoming project. > > > Having the C++ code build and run on Windows would be a > > big benefit. > > > Pending approval from my customer, I'm planning to start > > getting the > > > Qpid C++ M2 code going on Windows w/ Visual Studio .NET > > 2003 (VC7.1). > > > Is there such an effort already in progress that I may help with? > > > > Hi Steven, First thanks for your interest in the project, as far as > I > > know there isn't any effort in to making the C++ work on windows > > though I'm sure the more C++ focused fokes can chime in here.
