Hi Richard, I am not sure, if VC6 can be dropped easily. E.g. some SAPIs that directly map into servers may have problems if using the wrong CRT. Until now, I had no time to build up a Windows "Sun Java System Webserver" and test it with both CRTs. The code compiles fine on the snaps box, but I am not sure, if the DLL loads into the server.
To the snaps build: The NSAPI module tests for "#define ZTS" and does therefore not compile without thread safety. Why do the windows non-ts builds on snaps.php compile? Is ZTS on windows always defined (it looks like so in the makefile). How to test on windows, if thread safety is available? But better would be to disable thread-unsafe builds for the NSAPI SAPI from the beginning.
