I've got a url to mention ...
http://home.att.net/~perlspinr/build_platforms/mingw-make/
I've prepared the document above in order to collect together my .diff,
build-configuration file changes, and so on. I might make reference to that
sitelet in the future, since it utilizes syntax-highlighted HTML (pretty
colors!) to display some of the build-configuration files I worked on.
I should mention that what I've done with this effort so far is now
regarded as minimally valuable over at the MinGW List, because the main GNU
`make' tool being distributed and used over there is the MSYS port, which
is based on Cygwin's port. I probably should have started with that port
instead of the older one (a "purely Win32" port done mostly by Mumit Khan a
few years ago). I was in ignorance of these important distinctions and
plunged in a bit prematurely, perhaps.
Mostly I created the sitelet in order to keep my results minimally
organized and accessible to myself.
Best,
Soren A
