RE: build svn nmap on mswin32 under cygwin

["Sina Bahram" <sbahram () nc rr com>]

I hear that about time constraints ... working on a PhD full time and also
working in industry full time as well :)

Hmm ... I wonder if there is a way to get visual studio to generate a
build.xml

Take care,
Sina

That would be a good idea - I had hours of hair pulling when I first was
setting visual studio (expr. edn.) up!

Mingw you say, I like the sound of that and I'll have a go.  One step at a
time though, I want to conquer this cygwin thing because it used to compile
nmap with UMIT with no (well, not many) problems...  Thanks for the tip!
