34 | <PRE>><i>I have used Cygwin for various tasks over the last few years on Wintel | |
35 | </I>><i>boxes and today was playing around with a build of IRCServices under | |
36 | </I>><i>Cygwin. | |
37 | </I>><i> | |
38 | </I>><i>It compiles without problems with the exception of the tools. It also runs | |
39 | </I>><i>to a degree. At this time I have not investigated why tools do not compile | |
40 | </I>><i>nor why certain parts of services fail unexpectedly. (e.g. forcenickchange | |
41 | </I>><i>gets disabled at runtime despite connecting with an appropriate protocol | |
42 | </I>><i>module, I suspect an issue with static modules since configure caused | |
43 | </I>><i>static modules to be selected - what does services do for protocol in the | |
44 | </I>><i>event of a static module compilation?). | |
45 | </I> | |
46 | See send.c for the details, but the protocol_xxx variables are defined | |
47 | in send.c, which has a load-module handler that copies the values from | |
48 | whatever protocol module is loaded. Come to think of it, that could be the | |
49 | problem--I'll take a look. | |

51 | ><i>The FAQ mentions that a Windows version does not currently exist and would | |
52 | </I>><i>likely be implemented through the submission of patches enabling it to run. | |
53 | </I>><i>Since services is almost fully functional under Cygwin, as an interim | |
54 | </I>><i>measure, would patches for running under Cygwin be welcomed? I will | |
55 | </I>><i>probably look at a native Windows port later this year when I have more | |
56 | </I>><i>time available and version 5 has gone "gold". | |
57 | </I>><i> | |
58 | </I>><i>BTW, on the subject of the FAQ, Questions C9 and F9 are the same | |
59 | </I>><i>(Unreal /gline info). | |
60 | </I> | |
61 | Sounds like you're looking at an old copy of the FAQ. As far as a | |
62 | Windows port goes, I'd rather limit it to Cygwin support, because it seems | |
63 | like a whole bunch of patches and conditional compilation would be needed | |
64 | for native Windows support. (You're welcome to try, of course, and let me | |
65 | know how it comes out; I'll think about it if it doesn't require too many | |
66 | changes to the code.) | |
