Re: Buildinf Icon 9.3 on Win32

I have built a recent version of Icon with the Cygwin development tools for
Windows, including the compiler. I agree that although nothing has been done
to intentionally break the compiler, recent changes have undermined the
compiler build procedure. Yes, I discovered that the default build procedure
for rtt does not build the runtime database.

I don't recall an argp bug. Could you send me more details about the
problems you had?

I must confess that after going through an extensive effort to bring back
the native code compiler, I am not sure that it was worth the effort. Even
on relatively powerful platforms, the iconc compiler can hit memory limits
when trying to compile mid-sized Icon programs. I was only able to compile
the most rudimentry graphics programs.
