OSSP can be used in the windows environment now!

Hi all.

The door was opened by Mr. Ralf S. Engelschall of a great developer.
http://www.ossp.org/pkg/lib/uuid/
It can be used from Version 1.6.1.

Please see,
http://winpg.jp/~saito/pg_work/OSSP_win32/

we can include in the next release.:-)
Thanks!

Good news. Can you provide a patch for the msvc build system to build
with it? We can't really ship it in the next release if we can't build
with it ;-)

Ahh Ok, I try it first and need to check clear environment.
Probably, Monday will come by the reason I'm very busy.
Thanks!

Hi.

Please check it.
build is successful for it in my environment.
Thanks!

What exactly is needed for building the required libuuid files? rom what I
can tell, the authorh as no binaries available, correct?

It builds with mingw only? Or with msvc? does the mingw build generate all
the required libraries for the msvc build as well? (sorry, I'm on a win64
box right now, so mingw doesn't work at all, so I can't test that right
now)

Also, documentation updates will be needed, but I can handle those.

Yes, both can be built. however, msvc-build is not official though regrettable.
but, It can be built without source-code changing. It is created as our module.
http://winpg.jp/~saito/pg_work/OSSP_win32/msvc/
I have checked by examination.

Therefore, It has built in the environment of both now.

Yeah:-)

Ok.
Do you know if there are any plans to include this in the distribution? I
would make life a whole lot easier. If not, perhaps we should include the
win32.mak file in a subdir to our uuid module?

I found a couple of other problems with your patch, but i'ev been able to
fix those. Building a test with msvc now, and will write documentation.

Ahh, I don't have a good idea...
build of MinGW is required before win32.mak.
Probably, it needs to be written to a document.

I take it you are in contact with them, since you helped them with the
port? Can you ask them if they are interested in distributing that file?

If not, what do other people think about adding this Makefile and a
README file to our contrib directory?

Yes, However, It is not discussing about MSVC. It is because it needed
to think with correspondence of the generation process (xx.in) of the
source code. Furthermore, uuid_cli had a problem more...
Although I don't have the margin time now, it is taken as my TODO.

If there is no contrary opinion, I believe that it is help to many people's

I have applied the patch that we have for now. Thanks!

And keep us posted on the progress with the official msvc build for them.

Comments from others? Objections?

If it's well documented which versions of MSVC++ work with it, and
which versions of ossp-uuid, I don't see it as a major problem to
include it. It's annoying for sure, but it's not the end of the world.

Yeah:-)
Ok, I will write README and desire to be applied by your refereeing and an arrangement.!
Thanks.

I'd like somebody to close the loop with upstream OSSP authors first.
If they don't see anything broken about the makefile, and indicate
intention to incorporate it in some future release, then it's okay to
put it in our CVS temporarily. If they don't like it then we'd better
understand why.

There's also the possibility that they put out a release including it
next week, in which case we hardly need it in our CVS.

Um, I was hesitating the proposal by the reason which is not beautiful.
However, it turns out that it is solvable by a little working hours.
Therefore, It is due for me to do the work.I think, It is because of the
wonderfulness of PostgreSQL. But, since MinGW+GCC can already be
used, the problem is whether to provide by pginstaller. then, we have
intension necessity in it. Then, An objection will not realize it.....
