Hi Charles, > I am trying to understand to understand the win95 compilation of Amaya >so that I can make a contribution to your effort. I allready have a >fulltime job and have no commercial motives. To me this is an >interesting puzzle that I would like to help solve. Let me tell you >where I have gotten so far: Amaya is a freeware (see the coyright), you can download it and use as well as you want (all you have to do is to keep the copyright of INRIA and MIT). I really need some external contributions. Basically, I'm the only developer of Amaya on Windows platforms, any contribution is welcome. I did not release makefiles because to build amaya we need of cource MSCV, but we also need other compilers developed by our team. At the present time, I'm preparing a Windows version of these compilers. When all of this will be ready, both compilers and makefiles will be released for the public. > >1. I have gotten the 9/22 binary to run, it has a few problems but that >is inconsequential to overall puzzle, only the first step. > >2. I have downloaded the source, run 'gzip amaya.gz' to get it to a tar >and then WINZIP.exe to unscramble the tar into a 30MByte set of files >and installed it in its' default directory from my root c:\. > >3. I have read some of the html and text files and it appears that the >next step is to compile to 5.0 version of libwww. > >4. I set up my environment in the fashion that microsoft has recommended >for compiling programs in their various SDK's (software development >kits). > >5. I run (from the command line in a DOS window) the command 'nmake >-flibwww.mak' from c:\w3c=libwww-5.0a\library\src\windows\ and it spins >for a while and stops on the message >'c:\w3c=libwww-5.0a\library\src\windows\windll\debug\vc40.pdb cannot >open program database'. Please CHECK THAT LIBWWW.MAK has not \r\n at the end of each line. You have to edit libwww.mak using a window editor and to clean it (suppress ^M extra characters) than you can build libwww. > >6. At this stage, I don't quite know where to go next, If you could >suggest a course of research, it would be appreciated. I have been to >the same place with the previous version of the libwww that I downloaded >last week. Admittedly, I am a win95 programmer and not a unix >programmer, but I have worked on complicated projects before. If you >read me resume at http://home.pacbell.net/cfk you can see that I am not >just a casual user. > -- Ramzi GUETARI | Tel: (33) 4 76 61 52 38 World Wide Web Consortium / INRIA | Fax: (33) 4 76 61 52 52 655 Avenue de l'Europe | e-mail: Ramzi.Guetari@w3.org 38330 Montbonnot Saint Martin - France | http://www.w3.org
