Hi,

>OK Ryan, 1.0.0 is out, go ahead with your changes.

Thanks. What I will do then is get a fresh checkout from the head, re-apply
these changes more neatly then the original set - I will have a few
questions regarding how people think a few things should be done. When this
is done I will make a snapshot(s) available for review and once everyone is
happy commit the changes to the tree.

>As I understand, you are currently working on windows only?

Yes.

least)?

I have tried as much as possible to minimize dependancy's to just the
firebird headers and JNI headers. One thing that springs to mind is my use
of _vsnprintf which I belive is microsift only - but I'm sure it wont be
difficult to sort this out. Other then that the main thing should just be
creating a build system for these platforms. Its been a long time since I
last used gcc so there may be portability problems in the code I have not
seen.

I think that perhaps a autoconf based build system could be used on unix and
then the binaries for various platforms checked into the tree - I dont see
that the native code will change too reguarly.

I do not have access to any mac machines so I cannot build for/test on this
myself. - but as far as I know its a BSD unix and an autoconf based build
system should work happily on this platform. I remeber coming across
somthing regarding special considerations with JNI and the mac jvm's but
cant recall what these are.

I will make craeting a unix build system for the native part a matter of
priority after the changes are intergrated on the java side.


Finally, I would like to thank you all for creating this great driver !

Thanks
Ryan

OK Ryan, 1.0.0 is out, go ahead with your changes.

As I understand, you are currently working on windows only? Do you have
any idea how difficult it will be to support linux and osx (at least)?

Thanks
