[OpenAFS-devel] Building OpenAFS 1.2.2b For Win98

[Antoine Verheijen]

Grretings, all.

I've been trying for a week now to build the Win98 version of the 
OpenAFS client. I've tried version 1.2.2b and 1.1.1a (lthe latter 
being the version that the README-WIN9X document seems to apply to). 
I've had very limited success. The DjGPP part seems to build fine 
(more or less) on my Linux system (RedHat 7.2). However, when I go to 
my Windows box using Visual C== 6.0, I get grief about a whole lot of 
missign header files such as "afsconfig.h", "netinet/in.h", 
"strings.h", etc. It looks like in some cases it trying to rebuild 
parts that were already done by Linux or, in other cases, like 
CAfs.cpp in the "win9xpanel" directory, it doesn't have some AFS 
header(s) that it thinks it should.

Clearly I've missed something. Is there something missing in the 
README... file? Alternatively, does somebody have a successful build 
(including headers, libraries, and objects) that I could obtain a 
copy of? Or, as an other alternative, does any have the headers and 
libraries that are needed to build just the Windows GUI program 
(WinAFSLoad.exe in win9xpanel)? I really don't care about building or 
changing any other parts of the system.

Why am I bothering? Because we're trying to deploy AFS in about 2 
dozen Win98 labs here and the success of this venture depends on 
making a couple of tiny tweaks in the GUI to "accommodate" usage by 
some of our less clever or diligent users.

Sorry to bother you. Many thanks.

Oh, by the way, I'm mostly a Unix or Mac geek so if I've missed 
something obvious on the Windows side, please forgive me. My build 
knowledge on that platform is a little limited.
