[Spread-users] General Question

[Per Sandberg]

It worked fine to build on win32, I used another gcc inctance then the 
one in mingw, I used the one in "GNAT GPL" 
http://libre.adacore.com/libre/ and added a project file.
Ther was one patch though but it obvious when compiling and I'm 
confident that i sent the patch back.

It uses autoconf scripts which should allow it to port to most *nix platforms very easily.  If you are in a different kind of environment, then you made need to provide the appropriate #defines in the architecture specific files (e.g. - arch.h).  You can use the win32 portions as a guide on how to do that.
