[Xapian-discuss] Building Xapian/Omega using Cygwin

[Floris Bos]

Hi,

Thanks for pointing to that thing with __win32__ error. Find my configure 
line underneath. Can't I just define __win32__ somehow before compiling 
Xapian? I'm working on Windows XP media center edition, could this give 
problems? I don't suppose this should be a problem because media center 
edition is just a regular Windows XP edition with some extra functionality.
