[Phylobase-devl] various build questions

[Mark Holder]

Hi,
	I've just been playing around with the Windows builds. I'm afraid that I have very little to report.

	It is hard for me to figure out exactly what version MinGW I should be using to replicate this (and there are issues with the MinGW version that I selected, making it pretty useless right now).  Does anyone know the procedure for getting a 64bit machine up and building C-extensions to R?

	I just committed a change to:
		https://ncl.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ncl/branches/v2.1
	that allows it to build on a 64 bit machine using visual studio 2010.  But that change seems to be totally unrelated to the g++ issues that show up on http://win-builder.r-project.org/


	I'll see if I can install a bleeding edge g++ on one of my linux boxes.  Perhaps that will reveal the same complaints and I can diagnose.

	NCL's "nxsstring" class uses some hacky operator overloading which seems to be the source of the problem, but I'm not sure of the exact cause.  That code has been compiling for years... the joys of working with C++.

	I'll let you know if I can figure out anything.  If anyone wants an account on my windows machine to work on this remotely, I can set up ssh on it and get you an account set up.
