Re: [Liberty-eiffel] Eiffel Windows Support

[Raphael Mack]

Hi Visarion-Mingopol,

an interesting mail address of mine you've chosen ;-) Probably it's best
to use the public liberty-eiffel mailing list. There I just sent an
answer about Windows support.

About more concrete steps, that some into my mind:
The first step (after familiarization with Eiffel) in this project is
clearly to bootstrap the compiler on Windows with a native C compiler
(e. g. PellesC). Afterwards converting install.sh to a windows-able
script, bootstrapping all tools and running the test suite. Then (or in
parallel) create an installer, implement the missing C parts of the libs
(exec, net, ...) check what is necessary for the generated wrappers - is
wrappers_generator directly usable? Maybe some windows-specific example
(accessing Registry), checking whether the settings (liberty.se) are
working on Windows or whether some other approach has to be chosen...

And then I fear the summer is over ;-)

Regards,
Rapha
