Re: [paragui-dev] Windows Compilation

[Alexander Pipelka]

Hi Christian!

I remember the days i ported ParaGUI to libsigc++ 1.2. It really took me
some time to persuade libsigc++ to behave the way i wanted to.
Take a look into "paragui/include/pgsignals.h" and you know what i mean.
Currently there is no plan from myself to migrate to libsigc++ 2.0
because there is *A LOT* of code i wrote outside ParaGUI depending on
the way it currently works. Nevertheless, that shouldn't stop anyone
from trying to port ParaGUI to libsigc++ 2. Who knows, if anyone comes
up with a really good port i'll integrate it. :)

I'm pretty sure libsigc++ 1.2 will compile on Windows using mingw or
cygwin, but the ABI will be incompatible with other Windows DLL's
(AFAIK).

You could try to generate the missing header files on a Linux box
(configure,...) and use the created sources as input to MSVC.
