Hi All,
I thought I'd let you know I have compiled mix 3.0 for win32. A while
back I worked a couple weeks with VC++2005 only to create binaries with
the same bugs ('-p' and 'sendmail=outfile' crashes) that Steve Crook
encountered. I was unable to solve those problems. Recently I have been
thinking about how Disastry's 2.9b39 binary didn't have those problems
and the code (for those functions) didn't change since then.
Back in 2005 I bought VC++6, Win98 (VC++6 requires win98), and a used
thinkpad off eBay to see if I could compile 2.9b39 using Disastry's VC6
project files. That effort was successful--though I didn't distribute it
widely. I provided it as a test package at my ftp site.
Anyway, I decided to try to compile mix3 using VC6 rather than 2005.
Using Disastry's project files and mix3's makefile.in I created VC6
project files by hand. It wasn't actually that easy, but I did
eventually get mix3 compiled. In fact, I got it compiled without
changing any code! Except...the following which I'm sure were just
oversights and you'd want to make these changes to the source.
Added these to mixlib.def:
--------------------------
ALLPINGERSFILE @117
ALLPINGERSURL @118
STATSSRC @119
download_stats @120
url_download @121
Added DLLIMPORT to these declarations in config.h:
--------------------------------------------------
DLLIMPORT extern char ALLPINGERSURL[];
DLLIMPORT extern char ALLPINGERSFILE[];
Testing I have performed so far has shown the binaries to be stable and
the above mentioned bugs are not present. I did a brief test on MS Vista
and that was successful. I believe Steve Crook is currently testing in
remailer mode.
I currently have the binaries available at:
ftp://ftp.quicksilvermail.net/pub/quicksilver/test/
I do have a few items to discuss but will save them for a later
correspondence.
Regards,
Richard Christman
