[Zope] win32 binaries for Zope 2 ?

[Miller, John M.]

I've been trying (not very hard, admittedly) to add a little spark to that
glimmer.  I haven't had much time as I am in the midst of changing
assignments at work, but I have gotten so far as to see a bunch of ld errors
when the build script tries to make shared libraries for Zope's C
extensions.  

The problem is very likely a mixture of path setup problems on my machine
and a great dearth of understanding on my part on how Cygwin is used to
build shared libraries (err, DLL's in Windows-speak).  Hopefully I will get
the opportunity to learn more about all this and find out what's really
going on.  If anybody else has had any experience I most heartily encourage
you to share, Zope on cygwin could be a great alternative to those of us
without access to Linux or Developer Studio trying to find useful things to
do while at work!

Thanks,
John Miller
