Ada bindings to FireBirs? Whatever. Anyway, the user-guide is pretty unhelpful when on a Windows machine -- htt= p://forge.ada-ru.org/matreshka/wiki/Guide -- essentially requiring the whol= e unix-like environment... so my questions are thus: has anyone gotten it t= o 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 ex= pect from a tool developed on/with/for C?)
