Don,

   I fixed rusage related errors a while back, I discovered that I didn't
commit this fixes - I just did.

I checked out a fresh copy of Unicon sources and tried to do a 32-bit
build. I have mingw32 for that with gcc 4.7.2. I then did

  make W-Configure-GCC    # or NT-Configure-GCC

You only need to do this one time only; the very first time after a fresh
checkout to get windows makefile at the top level.

I then did this:

  make WUnicon32

The build went smooth without any errors!   I then moved make.exe to
mymake.exe and made sure I don't have any other make.exe on my path.

I then did:

mymake.exe WUnicon32

To catch all hard-coded calls to make, to my surprise there was non on the
build path. However there were a few MAKE variables that I have to change
manually in these files:

unicon/config/win32/gcc/makefile.top     # two occurrences at the top
unicon/config/win32/gcc/makefile.wop   # two occurrences at the top
unicon/config/win32/gcc/makedefs.top  # one occurrences at line 55

in all cases I change

MAKE=make

to

MAKE=mymake

The build went smooth again with my "new" make with no errors.

I haven't tried to enable jpg/png/threads yet, but at least until this
point everything seems to be in order. Can you reproduce this? if not then
it must be a difference in the the toolchain which is something we
experienced many times in the past.

Cheers,
Jafar
