Subject: Building Matreshka on Windows

Message-ID: <3c41f737-a1d9-40a5-aea3-08c4b61baaa8@googlegroups.com> (raw)

I recently came across Matreshka on this wikipedia page -- https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ada_Programming/Libraries/Database -- when searching for FireBird bindings to Ada... Ada bindings to FireBirs? Whatever.

Anyway, the user-guide is pretty unhelpful when on a Windows machine -- http://forge.ada-ru.org/matreshka/wiki/Guide -- essentially requiring the whole unix-like environment... so my questions are thus: has anyone gotten it to build on Windows? has anyone gotten it to build WITHOUT Cygwin, MSYS, etc?

PS -- I'd much rather not use Cygwin et al; it adds another layer of tools and idiosyncrasies to the environment.

PPS -- Why do people think "make" is a good way to build/install anyway? (I tried running it through Borland's make, but no joy -- what else do you expect from a tool developed on/with/for C?)
