Oh yes, I'm using GNU tools for windows.
Now (for a couple of days I was busy in a HW upgrade for my system), I'm
working to make lnpd works on Win32 (client lib part already quite OK,
server part need to be tuned-up). Code already compile without warning. I'm
working quite dirty (I will diff at the end to produce something to commit),
and I had to rewrite some of the code to work around SIG* stuff that is not
supported by cygnwin.
The final release will be *nix portable (I hope) like all the other code.
The best thing should be to include it with modified dll in legOS
distribution.
BTW -> any news from other legOS guys? :-)
Lnpd is surely a good starting point because it configure itself as 2
modules (server and client) speacking through a TCP socket... This sounds
quite good for the future implementations and semplicity... The LNPD Activex
could interface itself with lnpd too for IR tower sharing in case of
coexistence with other code... But do not take it too seriously, it's only a
2 minutes idea. :-)
I'm waiting to get a pre-compiled version of the LNP Activex to test it over
multiple caller programs & RCXs... Same thing I would like to do with the
ported lnpd...
Bye,
Paolo.
