I’ve got pike 8.0 building (for the most part) on windows. A few problems that still exist:
1. not all of the modules are working properly, though i suspect that’s primarily due to my build environments libs being out of whack.
2. Hilfe doesn’t seem to work properly: it starts and then immediately exits.
3. there is a problem on modules that execute pike scripts using $(RUNPIKE)… these scripts run on the host computer, and since RUNPIKE by default points to the newly built binary, the build isn’t able to continue because the host isn’t windows. It seems like it should be using the pike script in the build directory, which would probably be $(FINAL_PIKE), but I don’t want to make that change to configure.in without some feedback.
For now, I’m going to move on to other things until some more feedback arrives.
