[elephant-devel] Calling windows users

[Ian Eslick]

The problem is that Windows has no standard C compiler.  I'm now
thinking that rather than building the libraries; we should just
manually release a 32-bit DLL for libmemutil.c and libsleepycat.c and
skip the compilation step.  I assume most Windows Elephant users will
have one, but maybe it can be a configuration option.  If the option is
unset, the system defaults to loading the pre-packaged windows DLLs. 

Please try the latest HEAD on Win32 + BDB, it won't compile but if you
follow the instructions in INSTALL you should be able to build one manually.

I have a new Core 2 Duo PowerMac showing up on Monday and as it's 64-bit
it will break my existing environment, so I'm going to focus on
finishing the 64-bit port that Marco started a couple of weeks ago, but
I can integrate any changes you suggest early next week.

Thank you,
Ian
