Unsupported feautures in mingw

[unknown-1]

Hi

 

Currently I am looking at Mingw as option for a windows port of PSPP. After dumping the Cygwin integration and working with plain Mingw this may work. However, I get a lot of errors. One of the errors is about "ftello". After google-ing a bit I found:

http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/ftello.html

On other problem is fseeko and SIGTERM etc. Here I found:

I guess this, and other problems like these, have to be fixed within PSPP before mingw can be used. It is for sure this will cost time. On the other hand, I don't know if this will result in a usable PSPP/PSPPire version on Mingw anyhow.

 

What is the PSPP team thinking of it? Is it usefull to have a further look at Mingw, and will the team try to solve the issues, or should I better stop my efforts to compile PSPP on Mingw?

 

Have fun
