If possible, I think it would be desirable to have a completely common tooling set, including Windows. If we focus on generating a build configuration for the platform in question, instead of directly building the software, I think the problem becomes more tractable. > ...yes?

I'm still trying to get the requirements of what needs to be done agreed. FWIW: A pretty large amount of restructuring and #ifdef rationalization is going to need to be done whatever the tool turns out to be. IMHO, this would also be a good opportunity to switch from platform/OS-oriented ifdefs to capability-oriented ifdefs, but that's a 2nd order change irrelevant to being able to get away from the details of platforms as much as possible. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
