Hi Cesc,
i don't think that it would be so easy to port openser to windows,
there are
many Unix/ Linux specific thinks specified deep in the code.
More easy cross-compiling could be nice. But then we should use cmake
instead
of autotools, like the KDE project, because this is usable even for
non-gurus
like me. :-)
Cheers,
Henning
Hi,
Well, never used cmake myself, so can't tell. Autotools is complicated
if starting from scratch, but if using existing configs from some
other project, the jumpstart is very big.
As for the port ... i would expect some difficulties in some parts,
like locking, loging and memory mgmnt ... also some database access
libraries ... but maybe a simple, very cut-down version, with basic
functionality, could be realized ...
database should not rise issues. For locking/memory can be used sysv.
The module interface should be analyzed. Won't be easy, though...
Cheers,
Daniel
Just brainstorming ...
