kazi, youngjin,
the big problem i ran into is that the apache portable runtime is
needed, however must be compiled with specific flags. the original
author did not upload this standard library pre-built and so that is the
first task. there is a readme file with the directions i think.
once the c-runtime is compiled, the next step would be to put together a
simple version of the standard generated files, then using those alter
one of the existing compilers to generate that code.
my estimate is that this would take about two to three weeks altogether.
you wouldn't be done at that point, but you'd have a pretty good
baseline to work on going forward and you could demonstrate enough
functioning to attract interest.
the current setup is based on visual studio 2005 and windows. the code
has not been ported yet to other platforms / compilers.

Subject: Re: Publishing of the 1.2 Etch release and the c-binding
Hello Scott
Could you kindly provide one information. How much work is needed for
the c-binding? Do you have also any guideline to proceed with
compilation for the comiler and runtime? It will be great if you
mention the necessary steps to make the run time successfull.
Best regards
Kazi

hi michael,
we're still "working" on the 1.1 release. the schedule for 1.2 was about
now, but then the schedule for 1.1 was middle to end of may. we are
suffering for resources right now as the etch team is making transitions to
new jobs.
we'd love to see someone pitch in and take over the c-binding. the compiler
is easy, and the runtime should work if someone can get a build going. once
the runtime is going and reliably building, then the compiler is pretty easy
to whip up.
thanks,

i am interested in using the ETCH middleware and the c binding. I have
read in the mailinglist that the release 1.2 is planned at end of july
http://n2.nabble.com/release-1.2-planning-td2685234.html#a2685234 It would
be great to know, if there is any release date for the 1.2 version of ETCH
and the missing c-binding (runtime + compiler)
Thanks,
Michael Fitzner
