Re: rpcgen question

[Christian Gagneraud <cgag1c at freescale dot com>]

Hi all,

just for info, i have succesfully build and run my rpc code that was originally 
developped for GNU/Linux.

The problem was simply solved by generating the code with linux (pc GNU/Linux) 
and build/run it on windows.

But now i'm trying to build it for mingw32 (without multi-thread support) and 
facing some issues.

Does anyone have useful information about rpc/linux/cygwin and mingw32.

I have found lot of information about this problem, but it doesn't seems there 
is a maintained version of sunrpc or oncrpc that can be used cross-used.

Christian.
