Depends on how large of a task you want... the MinGW port will be a very large undertaking, because you'll need to fix networking code in libdrizzle, and then you'll need to actually port drizzle to Windows. (1 and 3 are actually essentially the same amount of work - there are like, 3 things you'll need to fix in the build scripts to get 3 to work) Monty _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
