* about the build, there is a wiki page, but it's not up to date (because of some move in the trunk). Before that move, i can build and run the EFL on Windows XP. I've never tried with win > XP * dlfcn-win32 is dead and the author does not want to add non POSIX extension (like the GNU dladdr, which I have added). I have too less time to fix that. If you can provide a patch that fix all the problems, fine, otherwise, install the EFL in their own directory, it will fix the problem (DLL search begins with the current working directory, iirc) Vincent ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
