Matt, I downloaded _all_ the source packages, I tried to build them all
both under Linux and Windows (in the latter case under CYGWIN, just to
start things going, before I discovered the beta binary packages which
_can_ be installed), and I ran 'grep -r ...' and 'find . -iname "pcc*"'
on the _whole_ tree, i.e. on _all_ the packages.
Still, I couldn't find the file.
As to what I'm trying to do - in the end I need something stand-alone
which is UNIXish/Linuxish in its source, and it should run on _any_
Windows computer, under _any_ user ID, so I need (if i understand
correctly) posix.dll and AST library. The application is simple enough, it
doesn't change UIDs, etc, so, I hope, I do not need the server.
Essentially, I need fork/exec* and UNIX dlopen semantics - UWIN appears to
provide them all.
In simple English I need the whole thing I'm working on to be
self-contained; it'll be portable/relocatable WRT paths; it won't require
installation in Windows sense.
Thanks,
Sergei.
