Below is the email that prompted me to add the derived files to
WIN32_DEV CVS.

However, most people don't want them in there, so I have removed them,
and updated the web page to recommend the nightly snapshots (which have
the derived files), and mentioned the tools that will be needed for a
CVS build:

That would not only be a "quick fix" but enable folks that work on sections

process.

As you can see from the new "Compiling" web page, I just normally
compile under Unix, distclean, then Win32 compile via Samba.

That isn't very efficient unless you have two machines or use something
like vmware.

One quick solution would be to add the bison/flex output files to the
WIN32_DEV CVS tree. Do people want that?

Here: http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ are ports of several unix utility

compiling the Peer Direct port, this is the easiest way to get started.

While I agree, that those utilities are really fine, the trouble with
this bison is that it is version 1.28. pg needs a newer bison version.

The bison from MinGW does really only seem to work under obscure
preconditions :-(

OK, I'll throw my hat in the ring... :,)

I recommend using Cygwin in -mno-cygwin (aka Mingw) mode for the
following reasons:

1. Using Cygwin gcc -mno-cygwin mode produces native Win32
applications (i.e., do not depending on the Cygwin DLL)
that are not affected by the Cygwin license.

2. Using Cygwin as the Win32 build environment will facilitate
keeping the Unix and Win32 build environments as similar as
possible. For example:

a. Posix path can be used for both environments
b. symlinks can be used for both environments

3. Cygwin provides all the necessary tools (e.g., bison and flex).
