Hi People,
I've hacked together an experimental MinGW 3.4 build where
everything (except a couple of things) uses wide characters
and the Win32 W (UNICODE) functions internally. I've
updated my GCJ page with this:
http://www.thisiscool.com/gcc_mingw.htm
(section "Experimental WinNT / Win2K / WinXP UNICODE-only Build")
This build passes my testsuite and seems to solve the accented
characters problem.
At present, this will produce executables for WinNT / Win2K / WinXP
only. I'm going to look into integrating this with UNICOWS for
Win9X platforms:
http://libunicows.sourceforge.net
I did this in the spirit of curious experimentation only; it should not
be construed as any official stance or direction.
Any feedback is welcome.
