RE: [Freeciv-Dev] snprintf, again

["Todd Goodman" <tsg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why would MSVC++ 6.0 have any bearing on the Cygwin build?

They're different runtimes completely.

You could certainly start trying to build the WIN version
with MSVC++ 6.0, but I won't be able to as it isn't a free
compiler.

A mingw32 build would be nice too, but I'd suspect quite a
few changes to support that (I'd be happy to be surprised).
