how to compile commoncpp2-1.0.13 for win32?

[Wolfgang]

i tried the last days to compile commonc++ for win32, but without success
with linux, i do not have a problem.

my environment:
commonc++: commoncpp2-1.0.13
linux: debian unstable with gcc/g++ and i586-mingw32msvc-c++ installed.
win32: native windows with dev-cpp (including mingw/gcc/g++) latest version.

on linux, i run ./configure in my own directory "mybins/" trying to use the 
VPATH function to create bins/libs for all platforms. i still got the linux 
files compiled, and a Makefile in my win32/ subdir. but no win32 files.
then i cd'ed into mybins/ and ran make explicit, but got only "nothing to 
do...." the makefile itself did not reference mingw at all.

on windows, i used the import function of dev-cpp on the src tree of commonc++ 
importing the VC project files, without haveing run configure before (because 
i do not know how to run configure within w2k).
in general that worked ok, but some files didn't compile (serial.cpp, 
slog.cpp, socket.cpp, digest.cpp,  and some more).

i.e sockets.cpp 
i guess this warning:
(ost::Socket::writeData(const  void*, unsigned int, long unsigned int)':../
src/socket.cpp:286: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always 
false )
makes sense, but i do not understand the reasons for all the other errors. 
(See an example at the end iof this mail)


I believe i do something really wrong, but i haven't used mingw or gcc before 
on win32, so can anyone give me a hint of how to get  commonc++ compiled for 
win32?
(using mingw or gcc )

Thx in advance ;-)
