Hi! For thrills I tried to build diffutils in MSYS with the following configure line: .../configure \ CC="cl -nologo" \ CFLAGS=-MD \ AR="/path/to/recent/automake/lib/ar-lib lib" \ STRIP=: \ RANLIB=: I don't know if you (or anyone) cares about building diffutils with MSVC, but I found a few trivial things to make that complete w/o error and is thus sending some patches. Cheers, Peter [PATCH 1/3] build: use additional modules needed by MSVC [PATCH 2/3] portability: declare variables first in blocks [PATCH 3/3] portability: use raise(2) instead of kill(2)
