Hi all,
I have just succeeded over the weekend to compile SYSTEM.PAS, STRINGS.PAS, AND OBJECTS.PAS with CygWin. This has required some $IFDEFs and the addition of some new functions, just for CygWin - (so, AFAIK, the SYSTEM unit in BPCompat now compiles correctly under DJGPP, EMX, Linux, and CygWin - any other successes?)
One thing which I am missing is the Win32 API in Pascal. Has anyone translated any of the CygWin32 C headers (esp. any Win32 API calls) to GPC? I would like to start a collection of these. Better still, is anyone willing to write a program that will parse a CygWin32 C headers and generate a GPC unit from it?
Thanks.
PS: I have found that many things are different under CygWin from the rest (e.g., the "stat" structure; the "errno", which is implemented as a macro); and many things which are in standard C headers are missing (e.g., strlwr(), strupr(), stricmp, etc.).
