Actually I don't see what the problem is with getting things to work on win32. I was under the assumption that it had already been ported for Cygwin by David Billinghurst.
Yes, but there was still a reliance on the cygwin-dll which provides the posix background. With the lib, I built now I'm able to produce executables _totally_ independent of any third party dll's (Someone did that already with cln 1.0 as I discovered a couple of hours before, but I didn't check out wheher his patch works on 1.0.3, too)
I was refering to patches by Mumit Khan that went into CLN 1.0.1, see CLN's NEWS file enty for that release. I do not know about other aspects of the port and I am pretty sure the other developers don't know either since none of them uses Windows. But if you know what you are doing and think it is good work you are welcome to follow the last two lines of GiNaC's README. ;-) (But please do check out CLN 1.1 from CVS and GiNaC from there and work with these sources since a release is around the corner -- there are no show-stoppers any more right now.)
