[syslog-ng] Hello, and project for Win32 port

[Ramón García Fernández]

Well, this is advancing. I have most of the code compiling.

I am using GCC/Mingw/autotools to minimize the changes.

The port is as clean as possible. A win32 directory exists under syslog-ng/lib to replace functionality specific for Win32.

Conditional compilation is avoided if possible. Otherwise it is used with the spirit of reflecting the conditional function. For instance, the signal code in syslog-ng/syslog-ng/main.c is not conditioned with #if !WIN32, rather we use #if HAVE_SIGNALS, so it works under any system without signals.

At present I cannot show something worthwhile of sharing, but I hope to have something as soon as posible.

Best regards.

Yes, I'd be interested, on the condition that it's not a becoming a
maintenance nightmare.

This means that conditional compilations scaterred around the code
wouldn't be acceptable.

The biggest issue would be to port ivykis and the compiler being used.
With MSVC it's even more difficult, as that doesn't support C99.
