In addition to the changes I've submitted for review, I think the resolution to this problem involves work in src/data/make-file.c
The issue is, this module contains a lot of calls to posix file functions, such
as
open, rename, unlink etc.
These work in w32 so long as there are no non-ascii characters in the filenames.
To get other characters to work, we have to do two things:
1. Convert the filenames to UTF-16LE
AND
2. replace the function calls by their WideChar equivalents.
Step 2 however has caveats:
open --> _wopen is no problem.
unlink --> _wunlink is no problem.
rename --> _wrename will not work, because windows rename refuses to overwrite
an existing file. We will
have to use the native Windows function MoveFileW
Not sure about stat.
It may end up being easier to have a platform specific implementation of
make-file.c
What do you think?
