You've mentioned before that you don't have a machine to try doing the windows builds yourself. And I'm afraid I don't have the time (or, it would seem, the technical skill) to do this any more.
Is somebody else looking Windows builds? I was surprised that this "release candidate" doesn't build under Windows, and I'm certainly hoping that this can be fixed in the release.
It's not (just) the lack of a machine -- we don't have anyone with the time and expertise to do it. As near as I can tell no one has done a Windows build for months. It's a miserable situation, but we can't delay a release for non-Windows users forever. Any volunteers would be welcome.
PS. One problem in both the cygwin and msc cases was the use of the symbol "CONTEXT" in parser.y/parser.c and input.c, which clashes with a standard symbol in the windows libraries. I suggest renaming it to CTXT (if you like, PREDICATES is probably available instead).
Thanks, done.
(I'm not at all convinced the other changes I made were correct or effective, so I'll spare you the details.)
Please don't. Anything is better than nothing.
