NEW features of smake-1.2a36: - Various modifications to allow compiling with MSVC - Suport for compiling with MSVC ("cl") from a Cygwin shell added: i386-cygwin32_nt-cl.rul - Schily Autoconf basics fixed so it is able to deal with the specifics with the "cl" (MSVC) compiler. - Serveral Schily Autoconf tests have been extended to support the include file structure from MSVC that is far from c89/c99/POSIX. - A test for __int64 was added to support 64 bit ints with "cl" (MSVC) that lacks "long long". - align_test.c now uses the abstract type Llong instead of "long long" ort "__int64". - psmake/MAKE-sh has been enhanced to support "cl". - Makefilesystem restructured to have platform config files that include a compiler config file. - Support for "Interix" was added in order to support "Services for UNIX" from Microsoft (compiling on the POSIX subsystem of MS-WIN). - Allow $O to be usd in pattern matching expansions. - Under some circumstances, the Macro expansion code did eat up whitespace. This has been corrected. TODO: Smake would need to implement an undocumented feature from historical UNIX make implementations that is used by Xorg at one place: target: *.o do-something-with *.o Which expands *.o from the filesystem. Meanwhile, use smake -N to compile Xorg. After pattern expansion has been implemented, smake-1.2 final will be released. WARNING: Do not use 'winzip' to extract the tar file! Winzip cannot extract symbolic links correctly. Joerg
