Hi John, I think so, but this is getting over my head. Hopefully, I got you further along the way. Jim Jim Homme, Usability Services, Phone: 412-544-1810.

Accessibility Wiki: Breaking news and accessibility advice -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John J. Boyer Sent: Friday, February 04, 2011 3:01 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Using Microsoft Compilers to compile Java native libraries This sounds good, but does .Net include the command-line compiler, linker, etc.? My understanding is that with these tools we would be able to create make and rc files and then just run them with a .bat file to create either 32 or 64 bit versions of the libraries. Only some header files would need to be changed, and this could be explained in a short README file. Once we have the necessary files porting new releases should be easy.
