In short, Yes. At the moment it is being developed mostly in a Cygwin
environment, which is under Windows (sometimes I debug under Linux for
those nastier bugs).
But there are plans to make a MinGW version available to run in native
windows environments. MinGW permits with the additon of 3(?) DLLs, a
POSIX application to run as a native windows application. I have in the
past, successfully run the Berkeley DB software in MinGW, using the
PDCurses library from another application I wrote last year.
But what is missing at the moment for BDB-Basic is the ./configure script
sup****t to allow that to build. There are also a few other Windows
specific issues, like file name seperators etc. Once the test suite is
more complete and the version 1.0 features are finalized, I'll be
addressing these.
Thanks for your interest,
Warren.
