This is mostly a note to myself* before I forget: libnettle builds fine with rntcl if configured with --disable-assembler --build=x86-windows.
This is how the offcial windows builds of Pike from me are configured. Obviously this makes for a slow libnettle, but there is no extra work required to get it to work with VC6.
* And possibly to grubba. It would be nice if Roxens Xenofarm machines got a libnettle.
You may want to try (cross-)?compiling with mingw32.
I've installed the debian package mingw32 on my x86 debian gnu/linux box, and it seems to work to build nettle with ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc, with assembler and all. I can even run most of the test programs in wine, but I haven't tested the generated object code beyond that.
Configuration for cross compiling has some minor problems in the released version of nettle, due to the use of uname in the configure script for setting some of the compilation flags.
We just stealth-released Pike 7.6.50 for windows (available on the FTP), but are looking into a few module issues (SDL_mixer, GLUT and PCRE). So it would be great if you could put your faster Nettle on your download area or send it to Peter Bortas for the next package release.
