   Hi,

   I've started some work on making libmaple compile on windows with codesourcery (or similar GNU tools on windows). I'm getting close, but the only problem right now is that GNU make doesn't support colons (':') in path names for targets. Escaping them doesn't seem to make a difference (still gives me a "multiple targets" error).

   This is kind of a show stopper for me right now. I was wondering what everyone thought about me doing something specific for windows. Like making makefiles for nmake instead of GNU make. I can take the responsibility of keeping them up to date with changes to libmaple. I know there is some redundancy there but the current state of windows buildage of libmaple is annoying at best.

   This is a problem that we have to solve as well. The Wiring people are also having issues with Make on Windows; it's a show-stopper for the next IDE release, so it's going to be getting lots of attention.

   I'm going to try to keep a single, make-based build system to avoid that redundancy. Can you share your patches so we can work together?

   I've put my changes here: https://github.com/lostinspacebar/libmaple/tree/windows_build

   What's there DOES NOT compile correctly obviously. The thing comes to a halt at libmaple/rules.mk. That's the first place make encounters paths in the target definitions that have colons in them.

   Would love to work together to get this stuff working on Windows. Do you have any ideas so far?

   P.S. I dunno if my first post sounded hostile. It wasn't meant to. Partially just pissed off at make for doing stupid shit and windows for having colons in its paths.

   Any progress on this one?

   Still getting the MS-DOS style warnings as well as a "build\\.\\libmaple: No such file or directory" error...

   Thanks in advance
