[CLN-list] Build CLN for 64 bi windows

[Richard Crozier]

Dear list, Kaveh,

I am trying to build CLN for windows 64 bit. I'm actually doing this by 
cross-compiling form linux using M Cross Environment (see www.mxe.cc for 
more information). When I try to build I get the folloinwg error:


libtool: compile:  x86_64-w64-mingw32.static-g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. 
-I../autoconf -I../include -I../src -I../include -I../src -g -O2 -MT

../include/cln/intparam.h:26:2: error: #error "Type char * does not fit 
into a long!!"
  #error "Type char * does not fit into a long!!"


I noticed in a thread from eight years ago that this same problem 
existed back then:

Is it a huge amount of work to fix this? Did Kaveh ever share the work 
he did on it?

Best regards,

Richard
