So= don't feel bad. It would have been trivial to have just tar balled the already built AWS an= d use a simple batch script to copy the prebuilt AWS for the Win32 platform= . I plan on focusing the next few weeks still on getting Gnoga to 1.0 status,= so I can't spend time on binary builds yet. I mainly wanted to make sure t= hat the Gnoga had no path issues, etc. once compiled and clearly it works w= ell on Windows (with the exception of Jeremiah's build but not sure why yet= ). So, Given the difficulties and since Gnoga is the "killer app" Ada needs to= gain traction among application developers (the overwhelming majority of p= rogrammers that Ada has failed to even scratch at on their radars), I'll se= e about doing a Gnoga for Windows binary install with a single package of G= nat, AWS, Sqlite3 and MySQL client libs. I'll start another thread on the "killer app" tonight. If you haven't "gott= en" why Gnoga is the killer App for Ada, I hope that thread will help you "= get it" :) David Botton
