Report by Eric Lindblad 28-08-2015 http://www.ericlindblad.blogspot.com As of Windows 8.1 MS has discontinued enabling for Interix, so perhaps there is little or no interest in this e-mail's subject matter. NB: As far as possible languages for xapian-bindings I only have be able to compile earlier versions of Tcl with a static library on Interix 3.5, Perl versions fail 'make check',

Question by Eric Lindblad 05-09-2015 http://www.ericlindblad.blogspot.com I would enquire if anyone has an opinion on whether it might be a possibility that adding the following #ifdef in certain xapian-core-1.2.21 /common and/or /backends files following the string #include <sys/types.h> might move closer towards resolution the 'ambiguous overload' issue. +#ifdef __INTERIX +#

gnu_getopt.h by Eric Lindblad 07-09-2015 http://www.ericlindblad.blogspot.com Subsequent to the compile of libxapian.so.22.6.8 and libxapian.a there are executable source files using gnu_getopt.h which has an #ifdef __CYGWIN__, perhaps that file would need attention in order for compile to proceed on my modified SFU Interix 3.5 setup The 1 'ambiguous overload' report on SFU Interix I

Hi openssh developers, I'm trying to port openssh to Interix. See [1] for more on this. For Interix sshd needs to be patched to not use setuid()/setgid(), but an Interix specific function setuser(). See [2] why it is needed. Unfortunately, setuser() needs the clear-text password of the user to be fully functional (If you use password-less setuser(), then the user doesn't have network

I'm one of the developers of Notmuch, an email client that makes extensive use of Xapian. For some time, full multi-version concurrency control (MVCC) has been on our wish list. Olly mentioned that brass now uses free lists---a key step toward full MVCC---and I offered to pitch in on putting the other pieces into place. Before I wade too deep into this, I wanted to propose my plan. Full

I was thinking about running Wine on Interix (the POSIX layer of Microsoft's Services for Unix). There are a few apparent unknows: Would Wine load the .dll.so's? Since Interix uses PE for it's native format (running on Windows, duh), Would Wine load the .dll.so's? Would it reject them being in PE format and having the 'POSIX Layer' attribute set, or could we hack on a

I diffed a clean 3.7.1p2 and one modified by the folks at Interop Systems to compile under Interix (the Windows Posix layer updated in the new Services For Unix release). The bulk of it is removing the hardcoded root UID and GID. If someone is interested in this, I'd be happy to send a diff (though anyone can inspect the changes by grabbing the package from
