Hi Nuno,

I'm working on a fix (actually I have been for a while but my time has
been limited) and I just commited the fix to ext/unicode/config.w32.

I'll continue working on the other fix tomorrow, unless someone get's
there first.

Hi,

I'm having some troubles building latest HEAD on windows.
One of the problems is fixed with the patch attatched.

The other is more problematic. I think Visual Studio is having some
problems
with macro expansions. Checkout the errors:

ext\standard\file.c(1052) : error C2172: '_to_zstr' : actual parameter
is
not a pointer : parameter 1
ext\standard\file.c(1113) : error C2172: '_to_zstr' : actual parameter
is
not a pointer : parameter 1
ext\standard\file.c(1130) : error C2172: '_to_zstr' : actual parameter
is
not a pointer : parameter 1
ext\standard\file.c(1192) : error C2172: '_to_zstr' : actual parameter
is
not a pointer : parameter 1
ext\standard\file.c(2059) : error C2172: '_to_zstr' : actual parameter
is
not a pointer : parameter 1
ext\standard\file.c(2156) : error C2172: '_to_zstr' : actual parameter
is
not a pointer : parameter 1

After Dmitry's patch to fix the ZSTR() macros, I was already able to
build
it, but I don't have luck this time.
Anyone with same problems?

Nuno
