[Gridflow-dev] [win32] Building on MinGW, possible?

[federico]

hello,
I'm trying to build GridFlow on Windows XP

I've built ruby-1.8.6 in the same environment (installed in C:/ruby)
also installed win32-process and windows-rp ruby extensions

when I launch configure, I get a strange error (unknown option "child#0")
looking at the configure source, I don't figure out where "child#0" came from.

it seems it can't create executables with gcc:
ls -l tmp
-rw-r--r--    1 user     Administ      158 Mar 25 00:33 3604.cpp

also if I hardcode in $conf:CC the full path to g++ it is the same...

also, a little note: on win32 executable always have a ".exe" suffix,
so even in the case it could create executables, then it won't be able
to run them


I hope someone could help, please.
