You generally only require autoconf, bison, flex and libtool if you plan to make changes to the source. A full MinGW and MSYS installation is required. > (For example, since Intel's C/C++ compiler will build > the code, could I get away entirely with gnuwin32 and > the Intel compiler and not use mingw at all?) > No. The use of the configure script is required.

There is no support for anything other than Windows Server 2003. Progress in this area has been slow because of a lack of project funding (or indeed patches) from interested parties. regards BMS _______________________________________________ Xorp-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.ICSI.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/xorp-hackers
