[Please, let's keep this discussion on the ML] Hi,

...

If someone wants to port Dillo to Windows, he can look at how Sylpheed-Claws I/O infrastructure was ported to Windows. Sylpheed-Claws does not use pthreads, but it forks...

Windows doesn't fork. That can be emulated with spawn. Threads is a better approach.

I don't know how he did that, but I remember those two parts (IO and forking) were the first things that needed to be ported to Windows. My message wasn't aimed at discussing technical points (I never programmed in Windows), but rather to point to some light-weight gtk 1.2 project that was already successfully ported to Windows, so less experienced developers could take a look on it.

...

I think, if someone does not already have the experience of porting to Windows....

I ported CinePaint to Windows, the largest GTK project ever ported aside from GIMP.

Then disregard my email, it will not help you :). I thought someone was in need of technical help for porting to Windows, so I posted some hints in the case where the poster was not so experienced.

...

...looking at Claws versions can be very helpful, as our port is done by a very knowledgeable guy.

Cool, who was that?

Just google for Sylpheed-Claws & win32 :) -- Melvin Hadasht
