Hi AnaitI have the windows exe that can be used to make the stubs from the
.thrift files and I can build the csharp assembly.My problem is with the cpp
stuff for windows, I am assuming that there is a library(static?)that I need to
link to from my application (actually a COM object) and due to the requirements
of .NET on 32 and 64 bit platforms I need to make 32 and 64 bit versions of
that library to linkin with the 32/64 bit version of the COM object.Will I be
able to compile windows compatible libraries in both 32 and 64 bit using cygwin?
I am not against using cygwin but I'd like for people to use my open source
project without having to go through same build issues (I find complicated
builds that are common amongst open source projects only reduce adoption)Shaun
