Hi all, I have been playing around with protocol buffers for a few days, and finally able to get a working version under windows using a cygwin environment.
It seems very convenient, ansd now I am thinking of trying to port it in to a non-posix environment: micro-ITRON. Where should I start to look at to port protocol buffers? The idea would be to be able to compile the protobuf's static library for use with my cross-compiler. So I would use cygwin for the build, replacing GCC and compiler directive by my appropriate compiler and directives. At the moment I am looking at the #ifdef _WIN32 flags in the code and seeing what changes would be necessary (since I believe that the most non-posix OS you had to port to is windows). Could you please teach me what library/headers does protobuf need which are not part of the C++ STL? And what should I be careful about? (for example, should I care about my target's endianness, or can I leave that to protobuf(maybe you already check for endianness when using the runtime for the first time?)?) Of course I am planning to feedback you with any modifications that I would add to the core code if it is really possible to port it... Many thanks in advance. PS: I would just like to port protobuf's static library, I don't think I would need to embed protoc from what I understood of its use.
