[elephant-devel] Testing

[Ian Eslick]

Thanks for trying that.  Do you know if there's a way with the cygwin  
gcc compiler to use a .def file instead of generating a .o with the  
exports?  I'm pretty sure MSVC has one.  We'll also need a set of  
build commands for MSVC...

I suspect we may have broken the build of libmemutil when we included  
sys/types to get access to u_int64 and u_int32, etc.   Without a  
local system to play with I'm not sure I can debug this.  I guess the  
thing to do is look at db.h and sys/types to try to figure out what  
was intended and whether they're compatible.

I'll see about getting access to a Windows box to try to reproduce  
and test these things on my side.

Thanks,
Ian
